Kentucky 75-year-old's house seized, sold over $288 unpaid HOA dues

[Sheldon Cooper]

139. Well let's see...

I'm 55 years old, and I've lived in every sort of domicile that you can imagine. House, apartment, owner, renter, trailer park, etc. Amazingly, not a SINGLE ONE was ruled by an HOA. And yet the grass still got cut, snow was shoveled, no one had their 55 Chevy up on blocks in the front yard, and all the while there was nary a retention pond in sight.

HOAs simply are not necessary, except for Nosy Nates who are too worried about what their neighbors are doing on their own property and woe be unto those next door who aren't living according to the Nates' own bizarre codes of conduct. To argue that someone should lose their home over petty rules infractions is astonishing. What a cruel outlook on the world, but more power to you if that's how you feel. You can sleep soundly knowing that you'll never see me pulling up next door in a moving truck.
