Ridiculous. Plenty of places to live with whatever degree of regulation one prefers.

I don't understand why folks who don't have HOAs get so excited about them.

Methinks this is the reason why anti-RV ordinances are exploding! Big problem in Portland...can't say I blame them.

A council member can not eliminate or change zoning.
Iโve been involved with local governments for years.
Itโs hard enough to get a sign put up.

The only way to get rid of these kinds of horse **** laws is to quit voting your rights away. Vote for council men and women that aren't a bunch of snobs and have some common sense. As far as hoa's, you give up so many rights that you no longer own your own home. Can't plant a tree in your back yard or have to paint your house a certain color, have to build a certain kind of fence, can't have any fence, can't have a pet, can't have a lawn or you have to have a lawn but has to be a certain kind grass, can't have more than 1 vehicle parked in your driveway. It goes on & on. Where do you draw the line. I guess there is still too much farm boy in me to live this way. There are way more important things going on in this world then to be passing laws that keeps a homeowner from parking their RV in front of their own home. I am really thankful I don't live in that kind of environment. Maybe some of it is people are really cheap and worry that the value of their property will go down. I value my rights far more than a few bucks. You see RVs on the road everyday that are worth far more than a lot of houses. Maybe we should pass a law forcing homeowners to upgrade their homes to the point that a Provoast owner won't be ashamed to park his unit in front it. Absolutely unbelievable!!
I don't live in an HOA development for the sake of propping up property values. I live in an HOA development because I take pride in the way I keep my home's appearance, and I don't want someone to move next door to that chooses to live like and pig and has no consideration for others. If that makes me an elitist, so be it.
As far as the poster saying he had to park outside of the HOA development to attend a party, he was probably mislead by the homeowner hosting the party. He probably made the guests park far from his home to keep his neighbors happy. While it is true some HOAs don't allow parking in driveways, that rule is meant for the homeowners and not guests. I have hosted or attended events in HOAs developments and guests are allowed to park anywhere that is legal. By legal, I mean not blocking fire hydrants or driveways and such.
