I will never live in another HOA controlled neighborhood as long as I live.  I have nightmare stories about the last one and still get PTSD when I hear the name ‘Fred’.

The Mrs and I have also decided no more HOA’s.  We’ll stick it out for now.  We’ve been in our house 16 years now.   Between the equity/ value increasing, and the poop ton we’ve been saving, we’ve got our sights on land.  We’re going to try to stick it out as long as we can. We’ve got 6 more years before my daughter starts HS and I’m hoping we can get a nice chunk of acreage and that my wife and I still have ours jobs then.  It’s a nice plan, if it all comes to fruition. Something to look forward to.  At least my neighbors are cool (for now).
