  • And also, I feel like there should be a governmental body that HOAs are responsible to that can handle mediation and give you a higher authority to appeal to.

    I’ve heard horror stories of HLA presidents coming into people’s houses to make sure that they’ve emptied their trash appropriately and other weird stuff like that should have a method of redress that does not necessarily involve a protracted legal battle.

    Some sort of HOA governance that is nationwide with state and county chapters would massively lower my resistance to HOA’s and give them a little bit more legitimacy in my opinion.

    They should have to clearly establish their bylaws and submit them to the governance body and have them approved, and then they should only be allowed to exercise the bylaws that have been agreed upon by the community.

    No more weird old people sitting out in your front yard, measuring your grass with a ruler and stuff like that.


  • I won’t live in an HOA. But that being said, I don’t really have an issue with other people wanting to live in an HOA.

    However, I do not like the fact that the HOA has permanent authority over any property you purchase inside of its zone.

    I feel like there should be a specific and reasonable amount of money that you can pay in order to exempt your home from the HOA permanently, a method to break the HOA contract at least for as long as you live there.

    Like maybe the HOA could reinstate the contract once you move out, and the next owner would have to break it again, but at least while you’re living there, you should be able to be exempt from them if you so choose.


  • They asked me to do things instead of telling me to do things.

    He was explicit about it. He said, I know I’m your boss, I can’t just say go do this thing, but I have found I get better results and have happier co-workers when I ask you to do the things I need you to do instead of telling you to do the things I need you to do.

    A specific example would be, instead of, “please clean the lobby”, Saying, xwill you go clean the lobby for me, please?"

    And it’s one of those things that’s really, really subtle and really minor. It only takes a small amount of adjustment in it in the way that you speak, and it yields excellent results.
