When the HOA says your house cannot have a visible garage

What's a HOA neighborhood?

Home Owners Association. Basically there are rules about various things to keep the neighborhood looking clean and whatnot.

Home owners association. A bunch of assholes who decide how to keep property value up. Good in theory, an ass fuck in reality.

technically if the HOA's rules are too far out there or they come along after and cause undue stress you can sue them.
But yeah, most are assholes that get butthurt about fence heights and shit.

Screw them! The two houses on my property are 50 years old and 131 respectively, I wouldn't change a single thing!
