George Lucas does something I don't have to hate him for
Vigo:
I heavily believe in property rights, but agree there should always be boundaries. Since I don't live there, I can't say what has and hasn't been crossed. Generally speaking, you would hope that the city/country elected officials is doing it's job on behalf of the voters to see to it that nothing gets approved unless it doesn't negatively affect the neighborhood. Money gets passed under the table though, and wouldn't put Lucas above doing that.

George Lucas, you truly are the lowest form of life, and if I ever get to meet you I would go straight to punching you right in the cock.

Maybe at least punch number #3. Punch #1 would be for the prequels, Punch #2 would be for special edition. :P

What happens (honest question) when the HOA changes the rules after you have bought ?
drventure:
HOA's often suffer the same problems as any situation where you give a little authority to people who would otherwise have none. They loose all sense of reason, and end up making decisions that have less to do with the collective of home owners and more to do with their own property or concerns.
We had several issues around here along those lines. The HOA where my parents live is the same way.
Heck, there was a fairly well published story of an HOA that essentially took a soldier's house from he and his family. They eventually got it back, but seriously?

Anything built within the stipulations of the covenants that the time of construction will be legal under those covenants even if the covents are revised to prohibit further similar construction. All new construction must be within the current covenants. Changes to the covenants must undergo a public notification and scrutiny period during which home owner can bring concerns before the HOA. Once the upated covenants are on file with the local Probate office then they are binding. If they aren't on file then they don't mean a thing. Part of buying a land in a subdivision is an agreement to keep the land in accordance with the covenants.
If there are no covenants on file when you purchase but a developer later registers the covenants at probate I am curious if those can be legally binding. If not binding for the current owner will they be binding for subsequent purchasers? Who's a probate lawyer in here?

If you want to control what happens on my land, then pay for it. Otherwise, STFU.
