larsontiffany+FollowHOA drama over e-bike sparks big debateImagine buying an electric bike to cut down on gas and help the environment, only to have your HOA claim it’s basically a motorcycle and threaten action. That’s exactly what happened to one homeowner, and now the whole neighborhood is buzzing. The real issue? It’s less about the rules and more about community politics and personal opinions. Some folks say HOAs just move the goalposts when challenged, while others argue the law should decide. Where do you stand—should HOAs get to decide what’s allowed, or should the law rule? Let’s hear your take! #Cars #HOA #ElectricBike00Share
Michael Wilson+FollowHOA rules leave e-bike owners out in the rainE-bike owners in some condos are suddenly finding themselves stuck with nowhere safe to park. A new HOA rule bans e-bikes from both the building’s bike garage and inside units, leaving only a rack exposed to weather and theft. For anyone who’s invested in an e-bike to save money and help the environment, this feels like a step backward. Neighbors are debating whether HOAs should be able to make these calls, especially when e-bikes are becoming a lifeline for so many. Would you challenge your HOA, or just risk it? #Cars #ebikes #HOA00Share
megan01+FollowStuck paying HOA dues after a condo fire?Imagine being forced out of your condo after a neighbor’s fire, only to find repairs stalled for months while your HOA keeps charging full dues. It’s a frustrating reality for many, since most HOAs tie fees to ownership, not whether you can actually live there. Before you stop paying, check your HOA rules—some offer relief, but most don’t unless you push for it. Keep everything documented, press for a repair timeline, and talk to your insurer about possible extensions. Anyone else been through this? How did you get your HOA to act? #RealEstate #HOA #CondoLife00Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowWould You Pay $500+ for a Pool & Lawn?Thinking about buying a new home? More builders are packing in perks like pools and parks, but there’s a catch: HOA fees. Over 65% of new homes now come with these community extras, but that also means monthly dues—sometimes over $500! Some folks love the hassle-free lifestyle, while others dread the rules and surprise hikes. Before you fall for that shiny clubhouse, double-check if the amenities are worth the extra cash in your budget. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #HOA00Share
Austin Sandoval+FollowTo my neighbor with the flashing LED Santa that stays on until 3 AM: Please, have mercy.I love Christmas lights. I really do. But someone on our block has installed a strobe-light display that flashes directly into my bedroom window. It looks like a disco in my master bedroom all night. I haven't slept properly in two days. Is there a polite way to ask a neighbor to maybe turn them off at 10 PM? Or do I just need to buy blackout curtains and suffer in silence until January? #ChristmasLights #NeighborWars #LightPollution #HOA #SleepDeprived #HolidayDecor #SuburbanProblems00Share
lanepaige+Followone family’s minivan became a battlegroundA woman told me she parked her family’s minivan on the street overnight after her garage door jammed. By morning, she had a violation notice: “Street parking prohibited after 2 a.m.” A second notice threatened towing. For parents juggling kids, groceries, late-night emergencies, a minivan isn’t optional. It’s survival. The board didn’t ask why it happened. They didn’t offer grace. They just saw a vehicle outside the line and wrote it up. Freedom often ends where the HOA rulebook begins. #House #HOA486Share
lanepaige+Followthe HOA that banned pickup trucksA homeowner shared their frustration after buying their dream house. They parked their pickup truck in the driveway, just like they’d done for years at their old home. Within a week, the HOA sent a notice: “Trucks are not allowed to be parked outside overnight.” No exceptions. No discussion. The owner argued the truck was newer, cleaner, and quieter than most cars in the neighborhood. Still banned. How does an HOA get away with telling people what kind of car they can own? #House #HOA315667Share
