I'd rather pay cash for a somewhat-run-down "fixer-upper" than buy a fancy-pants pad and then be a homeowener for da next thirty years!

-No patch of land may be permitted to return to it's natural state
-No rooms or other additions may be permitted above or in front of the existing home

The homeowners association says you can't put an addition onto the front of the house. They also said you couldn't add a 2nd level (which would keep any additional property from being paved over.) They said that the only place you could add on was the back (which paradoxically is the only yard anyone ever actually uses.)
To get another idea of what a homeowner's association is like, watch the 1999 episode of the X-Files by the name of "Arcadia."

That wanker was fired from every job he was hired to do and is now stuck being a professional homeowner.

Get the Homeowners Association mug.A small group of real estate agents, builders and developers who control and repress the residents of a suburban neighborhood. The aim of the association is to maintain the profitability of the real estate business by keeping the neighborhood in a state of Disney-like visual perfection - regardless of the impact on residential life. This is accomplished by enforcing rules for landscaping, lawn and building exterior maintenance, and by outlawing simple functional items and amenities such as basketball nets, garbage cans, satellite dishes, solar panels, flower pots, compost piles, window blinds, bike trails, mailbox numbers, etc.
The homeowner's association fined me $50 because I own a garbage can.
Our homeowner's association says we can't have a bike trail, because some buyers might believe that bike trails attract crime and drug dealers.
