Everything has consequences, once you get caught up in the system I say good luck and I hope you've got patience and fortitude for it. You hurt yourself these days, no sooner than they take an x-ray the insurance company is calling you to see if they can place fault and sue someone for money. They care more about that than making sure you heal correctly, they don't even ask if your ok when they call.

HOA are the cookiecutters of our condo living experience, people like uniformity. Outliers be damned. You can have a garden and things like that if they are ok'd by the board, but if your to lazy to mow or shovel, why would you want a garden?, it's work. The whole condo living experience is geared towards not having to do anything, just shutup and live in it. It's still neat hearing the stories about these HOA board meetings.

What sorrow for you who buy up house after house and field after field, until everyone is evicted and you live alone in the land. But I have heard the LORD of Heaven's Armies swear a solemn oath: "Many houses will stand deserted; even beautiful mansions will be empty. Ten acres of vineyard will not produce even six gallons of wine. Ten baskets of seed will yield only one basket of grain." Isaiah 5:8-10

Sorry, but I don't see anything wrong with someone living in a Hello Kitty house if he or she wants to, even if that person is my next door neighbor.

I'd rather have a nice, quit next door neighbor living in a Hello Kitty house than a loud, obnoxious asshole living in a McMansion next door to me.

Anyone living in a Hello Kitty house isn't going to be a pain in the ass.

That hissing sound is value leaving your house once your neighbors finish their Hello Kitty remodel.

It would be a landmark! "Ya, you can't miss it! It's next door to the Hello Kitty house!"

I went to a house in Fountain Valley that has INSANE Christmas lights every year. I mean unfuckingbelievable. Watching is probably bad for anyone with a history of seizures or who is easily hypnotized.
I went to see it, and there were quite a few others as well. It was neat, creative, and came sound tracked to an unused radio band.
Prices of homes in FV have since gone up.
