So, my home-owner's association is being managed badly as of this spring -- at the last meeting, something happened, I'm not sure what. I'll have to go to future meetings and ... be difficult.
Anyway, the management person tasked with enforcement is either an idiot or malicious, possibly both.
We keep getting dinged by them for infractions... that aren't explained, against guidelines that are so vague as to be meaningless; it all boils down to "what Debra likes", as far as I can tell, and I've stated in no uncertain terms that this is unacceptable.
With SCARE, the LoTV stuff, Maker Faire, work of course, and all of the usual activities of life -- Taiji is being frustrating, and Ballroom Dancing takes some attention, though I'm slacking on the book for that -- this HOA nonsense just put me over the edge; I feel sick, frustrated, and angry.
I yelled at the poor president on the phone today, but e-mailed an apology later... and a very detailed letter to the entire HOA board detailing why they are idiots (okay, I was more politic than that).
We've been in this house several years now, and it was just this spring that the HOA turned into assholes.
It's not that the HOA is bad, just the management person, and the CC&R is too vague to be of any use. Is this even legal? HOAs in Texas are among the worst, I find...
... so I'll either become that evil neighbor that abuses the rules right up to the very edge, we will come to an agreement and they'll fix their idiocy, or maybe it's going to mean moving. And I don't want to move. And I hope they don't want me as an active enemy...
