I didn't read it that way - I thought that the parking policy was later implemented.

I do not see any circumstance under which - short of legislation or a strange covenant - you could be forced to join a HOA after transfer of a title deed.

Me too, I'd start slowly but escalate quickly. I'd most definately put boots on their cars both private and work vehicles, and see how they like it.

so far i am on page 22 and i am rolling. this is the funniest s**t i have read in a while. sounds like a cocky meter maid was lookin for a quota. granted he did say he forgot the pass. it happens to the best of us. but booting on first offense???? it almost sounds like poking someones eyes out for looking at you if you dont like them. come on! a notice would suffice. hell i have been in a "community" with an HOA. the rules were 2 cars per driver. we had 3 drivers 6 cars. perfectly within HOA rules. until we got sited for to many cars in the household. the rule hadn't changed but we were 3 cars over the limit. here is the math i understood. 2 cars per driver, 3 drivers, 6 cars total. but its more like 3 drivers 2 cars per driver, 3 cars total.

the 2nd place i was in liked to put tow notices on my cars 2 min after i got out of it coming home from work, siting it had been on blocks for too long. this would happen once a week. and every time i DROVE teh car up to the office, sticker in the window and say WTF??? never had a driver towed.

I keep reading about these HOA's, and I am only reminded of the county (and surrounding counties) I live in...NOT HOA communities...

Incident #1:

I had been working on my second (never heard anything about the first) project car, leaving it in the driveway simply because the garage was packed full of tools. Apparently, someone didn't like it and the "neighborhood watch"(also known as the neighborhood gestapo) came by during the day, photographed my car WITH ME UNDERNEATH, and sent a warning of impending citation in the mail...a citation relating my car to an abandoned vehicle...

Yeah, nevermind the guy underneath the car holding a ratchet, surrounded by various pneumatic tools, air hose trailing from compressor in the garage, etc.

This went on until we got the judge to throw it out...

Incident #2:

Another citation warning for "clutter on walkway/porch area". The attached picture? Why, it seems to be a clearly marked Fedex package!

I had been receiving numerous packages, and continued to receive them after the warning letter. So, I made sure to photograph every package, showing time/date of delivery...and waited for the citation.

Judge threw it out...

Incident #3:

This time, the neighborhood gestapo sent one with a picture showing the back yard...the 8 FOOT HIGH FENCED IN BACK YARD!

On and on...

Last I checked, I lived on MY property. Why in the HELL can't I use my property as I see fit?

Even more unbelievable would be that others actually conform to such unreasonable mandates.



<edit> Any word of updates, or where this documentary has moved?

Jesus H Christ. I live in a place exactly like that one. If I could just fire bomb the HOA that would make my life complete. They try to fine me for everything. Do I pay? No, but its the principle of the thing.

Reading that gives the impression that his neighborhood did not have any HOA when he moved in then later implemented one?? Unless you agree to it how can they force you to join after you own the house??

I feel like I was watching a great move and the power went out right before the climax.

seems to be where the thread has moved to. the last post reads he is laying low until his lawyer advises him what to do about the current threats from aps over the privacy thing.

Yah, there are updates from the thread on Vortex, but its been like 5 days since he posted anything. Im willing to bet that hes been told to keep things on the DL.

I'm glad they got all the original stuff moved over though, I don't think it will be long before the thread on Vortex gets black holed. They got all the pictures moved and everything.

Really would suck if the parking company actually threw something against him for the "privacy" thing.To be honest, i don't understand how they would even manage to pull it off effectively.. but idk. law is one of those things i don't understand and don't really care about.

Word around the net is that Dollyman has been served a gag order and is awaiting a court date to overrule the decision. If it is overruled, it is possible that the thread on Vortex will be reopened, and we should get a full update.

From my understanding he does not own the house, but rents, along with just about everyone else in the community (sounds like they rent out to college kids or something).

That would make no difference. Tenants have practically the same rights as do property owners... HOA's, of course, strip you of some of these rights, but can not preclude those most important to citizens.

He is not fighting the HOA, they are backing him up. The parking company, Arizona Parking Solutions, is who he is fighting, and I think he has already done plenty of damage to them. Things are only going to get worse for APS.

omg, this is why i HATED working for parking companies. I've worked for the largest parking company in the world, and the second largest (i think). I could go on for pages and pages with experiences from working for both of them, but i will simply state that ALL parking companies are BLOODSUCKING CORPORATE MONSTERS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SOUL!

keep on fighting the good fight Dollyman!

I used to work for a company that made the gates and stuff for lots, and all the attendants/owners were all pricks, douchebags or crackheads.

Parking is such a scam, wherever it may be physically. I always make sure to make my disgust for their practice known whenever I am forced to pay someone to simply leave my car somewhere. I thought the point of cars was so you could go places? Not PAY anytime you want to move it somewhere else...

He owns the house. Somewhere in the 61 pages of the closed thread, he talks about the agent that sold him the property was fired after selling it to him at fair market value, since the market was so hot, she could have bent him over for the house.
