Say goodbuy to home shops

You just soured me on the idea :)

As the 5' 10" tall slender but big bosemed lady said at 4am this morning....

"gasp..pant..pant...your pretty damned good for an old man...."

Shrug...its just a knack....

What sort of neighborhoods do you think are wanted by people touting "traditional family values'"?

ISTM it would only take one act to prohibit them, which would be a model package.

What the hell are you doing out jogging at four in the morning???

HOAs are intended for 'Politically Correct' morons, of course.

Just so long as you keep the safety boots and full face visor on :-)

Wrong. They are for people who DON'T want to associate with anyone who don't live up to their expectations of wha their neighbors should be like.

Politically correct morons love to associate with people they think of as inferior--it makes them feel superior.

That's some weird stuff, Fred. Is it the result of some bad experience or something?

BTW, here in the liberal NYC suburbs, HOAs are pretty rare. There aren't any around me. What's happened to the freewheeling, libertarian West?

Actually..I do machine and weld at 4am. Here in the desert..its the coolest times.

People like that give gunowners a bad name. What's the point to carrying a backup piece if you don't go to it immediately when your rifle jams?

We got invaded by East Coast Yuppies.

There are plenty of them out here and they don't seem inclined towards HOAs. I think it's a case of some social climbing going on in flyover country. d8-)

Amen.

Look at Colorado for a prime example

I think PeteC hit the nail on the head:

The object of an HOA is to suppress diversity. Not necessarily the superficial kinds like ethnic diversity, but real diversity.

Those postings, in light of what you said above, is why I said this is "weird stuff." What PeteC is saying is that people associate in "enclaves" of the like-minded. What you said above is that "PC morons associate with people they think of as inferior."

These two statements are exact opposites. Now you say PeteC "hit the nail on the head." But the nail he hit was the opposite of the nail you aimed at.

Is that something you care to explain, or shall we just chalk it up to general enthusiasm for any kind of bitterness and antagonism toward people who aren't part of your...enclave?
