I hear you - LOUD AND CLEAR - LOL, nice rant. I have ranted to and with my hubby a time or two about our HOA as well. They seem to be soooo nitpicky, all of course to keep the neighborhood clean and nice looking for visitors. Huh? Visitors, what about us the owners? Anyhoo, I guess they're a necessary evil but a balanced board is essential. OTOH - I couldn't be bothered becoming a member. Who, except for retirees (= old people) have the time?

In the meantime, let's rant it off of our minds!
