http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/2653362/ Just when you think you've heard it all from HOA's. An excerpt: The Wakefield Plantation Homeowners Association decided having too many rain barrels didn't fit the neighborhood's image. “To maintain the visual impression, especially from the street, for our community,” Greg Barley, with the Wakefield Plantation Homeowners Association, said of the reason behind the rain barrel limit. Wakefield Plantation is only allowing homeowners to have two rain barrels per home. They also have to be a particular color and kept in certain spots on the property.
Another example how doing good is not good enough. Shame on these hoa's who let the power go to there heads.
I'll never say never, but a HOA is not my idea of a good time. They have their place, but we'd be their worst nightmare with all DH's toys, extra vehicles, etc. I'd be fined weekly.
