Nothing in the letter stipulates HOW MANY little candies you can give each child.

If there are lots of kids, I suppose some families might have trouble affording big bars, and feel peer pressure, but I suppose they could use it as a teachable moment for their kids. Anyway, most kids are happy with small candy as long as they get something. Even the toothbrush house is worth the walk up to the door.

Why are HOAs so obsessed with "consistency"?

[–] Bitflip@lemmy.ml 4 points 42 minutes ago

Its another excuse to dull out fines

It's a euphemism for "control".

It's a safe way to live.

Or what, they'll put a lien on your house? Bet this HOA isn't doing all of the typical stuff HOAs are responsible for, but they have enough time and money to put together this letter.

Encouraging, asking, request. It's not a rule because they know they can't make it stick. Hand out whatever you want.

I have a fantasy where i get rich and hand out 5 lb chocolate bars one year.

"land of the Free"

Not really inconsistent, you’re free to not enter into an HOA covenant and folks willing to subject themselves to being micro nannied are free to do so. That’s freedom ain’t it?

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The problem is the HOA exists where it does so if I want to buy there for the other benefits of the location (e.g. school) I have to submit to the HOA. The idea of HOAs originally came about as one method of stopping blacks and other minorities from buying in those areas. Simultaneously these areas got things like pools and gathering areas (clubhouses) while they closed the public versions of these places.

USA - always racist.

Should be their slogan.

[–] blah42@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 hour ago

HOAs often come with the house, and in some areas it can be hard to find a house without one.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 0 points 36 minutes ago

If there is an existing HOA, unless it's a rare one that's voluntary and not tied to the deed, you can choose to not join only by not buying the house.
