Our neighborhood and HOA board has slowly been going to shit over the last 5-10 years. Board members would never step down and always would point fingers for the neighborhood problems that were never addressed. Properties are starting to look run down and need basic TLC and community engagement has dropped off a cliff. Board members get free dues, so I guessed that's why they hung around.
So my neighbor and I read the by-laws and realized we could make every position a MAGA position if we controlled 50% of the neighborhood vote via proxy vote at the next board meeting this month.
Since the turnout is always super low at the annual HOA meeting, we walked the neighborhood and collected proxy votes on behalf of all the neighbors. In just TWO nights of canvassing, we collected the controlling interest of the neighborhood and can literally do all things MAGA the night we take control.
We literally have every position lined up to be filled with pro MAGA people and are removing 100% of the old group who would never let go. They have no choice. Their reign is over.
During our canvas, we found out the entire neighborhood was sick of the people running the show and thanked us for stepping up.
Get involved frens. People want change.
Forgot to add, 90% of the people we spoke to invited us in their home.
No one gave a shit about covid and people who were previously concerned, said they were tired of living in fear. Two years was enough.
This is American greatness!
This is the American Exceptionalism the left is so worried about.
TRUTH!
I love Justice Scalia's description to Congress in testimony about America Exceptionalism. It made me really love his view on our constitution.

Never seen that before, thank you for posting it.
I’m hijacking this comment to say that I managed condominiums for almost 20 years and I have NEVER heard of board members getting “free dues”. That shit sounds highly sus and potentially illegal. Do you have a management company? Board seats are voluntary positions and members should not be compensated.
My dad was on a water service board for his small private community and any elected official got free water while in office.
I would recommend OP check the law’s applicable in his state and check the association by-laws.
same never seen this anywhere, I'd be on the boards in a heartbeat if that was true in any of them.
OP should consult legal council ASAP and charge them back dues plus any fines and late fees. Put a lien on their home until it’s paid. Then update us OP for an even greater ending to this story.
They should talk to a local DA. That probably amounts embezzlement. If the board spends HOA funds outside of the charter boundaries, and that money goes into the pocket of board members, it's probably embezzlement. I had to warn board members about that on one HOA I was president, and my attorney threatened another HOA board with that on another I had a dispute with. The threat of embezzlement charges put an instant end to their nonsense in both cases.
Dems are scammers....theses guys have been gaming the system.
This is the way.
Aren't dues hundreds of dollars a month?
Or is that called something else
Not in my neighborhood. About $200.00 a year here. Not sure on his. We already have a Maga board and HOA so we’re good.
Okay maybe I'm thinking of condo fees. Hoa sounds bad but if it's just a few hundred bucks a year that's not crazy...and people do need some way to enforce community agreements about esthetics and hygiene if they're all packed right tight together I guess. Not my cup of tea but to each his own I suppose
Yep, I’ve heard some bad things about HOAs. Thank God ours is based.
Condo fees tend to be a couple to a few hundred a month because they generally include a lot more maintenance, and sometimes even water or electric depending on how the buildings are constructed.
Also, many time Condo Fees includes common areas and buildings. A common pool is a financial drag as well. These are not usually things a HOA has to contend with. You can always find an exception.
It would depend on the amenities that your dues pay for. Do you have a management co? You pay for that. Common areas such as a park, pond or pool? Do you pay for snow removal, landscaping, insurance? Is it a multi dwelling unit or stand alone homes? Lots to consider.
That's how they get ya.
A few hundred dollars for the whole year isn't bad. And it's nice to have community standards about weeds and keeping yards clean and stuff.
Then BAM, board is filled with people who never have to leave since engagement is low, and the meetings are on random weeknights during the week as they know that's tough for all the parents. And they have a lawyer present (paid with your own money) as well as management company (same) to run everything while they sit around in power making everyone else miserable.
Depends on the HOA and what type of amenities they include.
I own a townhouse in a gated community, includes 24 hour security, maintenance of the large common grassy areas and a pool for 120 a month.
My brothers house is in a regular suburban neighborhood where the HOA just makes sure everyone's yard is clean (ish) and nobody paints their house bright purple they pay a couple hundred a year.
A very fancy neighborhood I do work in has hoa fees of over $1000 a month. they have a gatehouse with 24 hour security, a ski lift from the neighborhood into one of the lake Tahoe ski resorts, a state of the art gym with trainers, private restaurants, an entire board that approves new home designs and makes sure everything is impeccable, beautifully maintained grounds and maybe even snow clearing. Unfortunately if you want to golf and go to the club it's closer to 10k a month....
🙀
Oh yeah, it's incredible.
So rich people's HOA's give actual amenities for their HOA dues.
Not too surprising lol.
It depends on the bylaws, but the Country Club I run has a Board made up of condo owners. There is a clause in the bylaws that state no officer can receive any compensation for work done as an officer.
The covenants are the legal governing document and they must abide by the covenants which are tied to the deed.
There are state laws that dictate how a duly formed group like that is set up and run and their own bylaws that govern activity.
The first rule of power is 1' You can do anything you can get away with.
You should see the look on their faces when your attorney shows up! I had a dispute with a small HOA operated by leftist housewife twits. They were threatening me with attorney fees, fines, foreclosure. That is until my attorney showed up. There was a meeting I attended with the twit board members and their attorney where they planned to grind me into the ground with their threats. Only I showed up with an attorney and a written copy of the covenants and charter. Should have seen the look on their faces when my attorney explained to them how much their nonsense was going to cost each member of the neighborhood, including possible jail time. It was going to save me just a couple hundred of dollars a year. The look on their faces? Priceless!
I know we're not happy about 2020, but this is awesome because the more local the election the more effect it will have on your life and your kids' lives and the more sway you may have as an individual. HOA and school board are super important!
It took a stolen election to finally wake us up and get involved. Our mentality means we usually avoid power, while the left seeks nothing but power. Glad the tide is finally turning. From school boards to county boards, we've got to take this country back. I know losing at the Federal level sucks, but local and state elections will effect you WAY more than federal.
And it was IGNORED when it suited those in POWER such as Lincoln.
The right to secede is not addressed in the Constitution, therefore the Tenth Amendment should have applied. Recognizing this does not mean in any way I support the institution of Slavery as damned yankees would prefer us to believe. But they won the WAR and wrote the history.
Well, I used to think the federal elections were somewhat irrelevant but I forgot about the ridiculous vaccine mandate.
According to Andy McCabe and his ilk within the unconstitutional “intelligence community” this constitutes an act of terrorism similar to when the group of naive old people, communists and FBI agents overthrew the country on January 6th the day that lives in infamy. I’ve been thinking about crimes I can commit so that I can speak to Ivy League audiences and go lie for lie like Andy. These people have lived on the back of the productive forever but now they will shame you into believing it’s for your own good that they take your money and rights none of which are provided by govt and it’s unrealistically large and useless bureaucracy. And unfortunately many in the majority who mean well are too lazy to realize what’s taken place in the last few years. You’ll never get your way of life back through their elections, but hey I’m late for work so I can keep contributing to people like Andy
Did you accept their invitations?
I’m curious what sort of “MAGA” things you will do?
All houses must be repainted orange
Small government which means dissolving the HOA
There is a guy in Texas who did this. I would love for it to happen more. HOAs are cancer.
The only people who like HOAs are board members and idiots. This is because HOAs are money extortion scams. The biggest upside that people mention about HOAs is that they keep the property values high, so if you ever get tired of petty tyranny, you can get more money when you sell your house and leave the community. And any amenities they build and manage are not worth the lost freedoms.
What about neighborhood parks (to prevent registered sex offenders from living there) and pools?
What about them? For a pool you can either charge admission or season passes on a voluntary basis for a community pool or you can build your own in your back yard. You can do the same for parks but add in volunteer work for some of the maintenance. You might mention that you aren’t comfortable charging admission to a local park, but parks are already not free. You are already paying the admission fees in the form of HOA fees or state/ local taxes. I would just cut out most of the middle men and the bureaucracy.
Good points
HOA's are fascism
(and that's why they're based)
It happened with my HOA. They started HOA to pave the road and then they did. They were supposed to continue collecting for maintenance, but no one on the HOA was active and they couldn't get a quorum to even resign. Now it is just dissolved. The rules included only one cow per 2 acres and only 3 sheds per lot. It was not restricitve.
I live in Texas in the home I grew up in. Our HOA expired after fifty years. So don't forget to look at the HOA document to see if it has an expiration date.
The purpose of a HOA is to force other people to conform their use of their property to the community standards. It's very Communistic in operation.
Good idea, but could backfire.
I avoided even looking at anything with an HOA and now have zero beighbors.
Having zero neighbors is the goal. Less people the better.
Sounds like you an Bill Gates could be friends with zero neighbors. Next you will be vaccinating and killing off part of the population. :)
You need to gatekeep when it comes to neighbors.
Flag poles for everyone
you can only get so elect
Build a border wall around the neighborhood
I’m guessing Trump signs/flags are coming!
Great job and good advice. Our HOA is run by complete authoritarian, self serving dirt bags doing exactly as you described. It's kind of a microcosm of what is happening in Washington DC. According to the HOA bylaws, they don't get enough return votes or candidates to have a valid election so they all just stay in office. I keep waiting for someone to do something about it but that someone, I think is me.
It is you, Kevin. It has always been you.
Which Kevin? Both of them.
Kevin²
Kevin to the power of Kevin.
Two dimensional chess Kevin.
Blessed be the Kev
What if it's just a trick, and there are actually more Kevins? How many Kevins are you hiding, Kevin?!
Bofa deez nuts
This is what our new board had problem with so they lowered quorum. Then we recalled their asses and they said oh no, the lowered quorum % is not for that.
Sounds like you have a commie infestation.
That someone is you. Just do it. Team up with another neighbor You'll be amazed at what you can do.
Don't be afraid of stepping on toes either. You're going to have a few Karen's go off on you
You and your battalion of neighbors. None of us walk into this fight alone, commander.
I work for a company most of you probably have heard of. Today I found out from my fly-on-the-wall that the board has toid our executive team that social justice messaging is to stop immediately and they are to focus only on the core company mission. The dam is breaking.
God I hope this is a trend.
SERIOUSLY... holy shit these people overplayed their hand years ago...
The pendulum has begun to swing back. Change is in the air. We can all feel it. The clowns are scared.
All megacorps are doing the LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP thing. They even hire CDOs or Chief Diversity Officers - like political commissars in Soviet Red Army. Conservatives need better narratives to push back in culture war.
cdo can be implemented in a different way.
employee1:"why don't we do some woke shit"
employee2:"why don't you ask the cdo"
cdo:"fuck off no. what is wrong with you"
Now they need to fire all the woke in HR.
We fired our whole marketing department but 2 (20+ people fired), so now HR has no friends. HRs in line again. They have no mob.
Awesome. Let me guess. Marketing was largely a bunch of woke college indoctrinated white women. How did I do?
How dare you misgender the 20 jk. You’re accurate
Good, fuck HR. In 30 years I've only seen 1 good HR team. They almost exclusively fucking suck and treat people like trash.
They treat humans like resources. It is right in the dystopian title.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
But not until after they have completed their re-education training ;)
This needs to happen at my job immediately. Like yesterday.
Never forget. Never forgive.
What company?
Great.
Watch your back. Have cameras and motion sensor floodlights. Have dogs. Fix all holes in fences.
Put stuff on top of fences to make it unpleasant to climb over them. But nothing the fire department wouldn't like. Ask them.
Have good fire alarms all over the house.
Keep an even sharper eye on children and other trusting people around you.
Have situational awareness, when you are out.
Don't have bushes and underbrush, especially anywhere near where you walk in.
Think about your windows.
I should add, the book Principles of Personal Defense is a great and easy read about this subject
Good points and especially about the bushes, bushes are stupid to have near entrances for many reasons
Annoying tiny trees full of critters and bugs
Thorn bearing plants are pretty good to put below windows and around the house.
Bushes underneath windows are good, but bushes in bulletproof concrete planters underneath windows are even better
Oh hell yeah!
Raspberries are nice because they are thorny and tasty.
Motion Sensor Floodlights are the worst! It’s annoying have a flood come blasting in your window at 3am.
Wouldn't they deter? Wouldn't an assailant just panic and leave if flooded with light?
Not at all. Some of these people are brazen af.
DON'T GET BRAZEN
... with me now eh!
LittleBinger has left the chat
Some would run.
But man, especially if it were BLM rioters, would keep going, and be happy you lit the way for them to peacefully burn your neighborhood down.
Cover your ground level accessible windows in security film.
Get motion activated cameras that record. If your not tech savvy get simplysafe, if you are tech savvy wire it all up yourself and get blue iris software.
Carry a gun at all times, keep one hidden in every room, and keep it loaded (unaccessable to kids if you have any obviously). Also carry OC spray (I prefer OC CS. Get this, its the best money can buy.. I've been using OC spray for 15 years and this is the best I've ever seen.. https://www.amazon.com/Freeze-Pepper-Spray-NF-Stream/dp/B009QLZ5BI Having the ability to spray omebody with the spicey sauce works 99% of the time when lethal force cannot be used.
Practice shooting regularly. Its a perishable skill.
Learn empty handed skills, how to take basic fighting stances, break choke holds, disarms somebody.
Learn and use verbal judo, learn how to be in charge of any situation and take control. I have found this is the most difficult thing to teach people. Watch ASP channel on YouTube.
Take a defensive driving class.
Always expect somebody to mean you harm and you'll never be caught off guard. Think like a criminal... if I were a bad guy where would I be hiding to ambush me? How could I be car jacked? Where are my blind spots?
Take different routes to and from your daily travels. Be unpredictable.
Use encrypted communications with trusted people and get a VPN. Always secure your wifi and devices with a password.
Install hinge armor and handle jackets on your main entry way doors. Will slow down serious home intruders enough to buy you time.
Consider body armor, a truck rifle, and absolutely begin carrying an IFAK with a good tourniquet that you have learned and practiced putting on one handed.
I run an HOA company I've been waiting for people like you.
Good instigators are in high demand. All it takes is someone to step out and ask if others want to join in. People are social and habitual, they like to be a part of things. They rarely want to take the steps to band others together. So there is some relief in someone, anyone, taking leadership in an area.
And you don't have to do much... which is why I sometimes advocate for simple things, like park BBQs or other types of social club gatherings.
Get people together. Which is the opposite of what they are doing with their psyop isolation program.
It is also one of the most important things you can do for President Trump. He needs boots on the ground on every block.
And as OP has discovered: there is a lot of turf up for grabs. Would we not all feel more comfortable knowing the next neighborhood over had a MAGA neighborhood watch, HOA, baseball club, sportsman's club (indoor and outdoor target practice if you can), food cooperative, or food-driving charity?
Why not all of that at once? Or a lot of it. Sounds like the thing someone who runs a company has the skillset not only to act upon, but to train.
This is exactly how my neighborhood is. Although we don't have to worry about an HOA. We have gatherings, BBQ's, local kids put flags up in our front yard several times a year, and we all chip in when someone is in need or sick. Say what you will about Mormons, but they are darn organized. There's flyers a couple times a month on the door for this and that gatherings. And like I said, if someone gets cancer or something, or gets disabled, we all chip in.
Mormons, Amish, Menonite. We can all learn about community
I love in thr middle of the country. Every single neighbor (still miles away) is conservative maga supporters. The rest are Amish. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Most of michigan is conservative actually. Almsot all red except the shithole mega cities thst steal the vote every time.
I have high on my bucket list some visiting time with the Amish and the Mennonites. Just the tourist stuff but I hope to really sit down and talk about scripture with a few of them. More importantly to see them live it. And to get some jam and maybe a fireplace.
There are a bunch in central KY who do a lot of metal roofing jobs. I bet my FIL has twenty rental properties that the Amish did for him.
They should all be something like that. All of them, no exceptions, no excuses.
I hate democrats.
HOAs are scum. Change my mind.
Dont like your paint color - Lien
Dont like your car? - Lien
Planted white roses instead of red - Lien
Didn't mow you're grass at the approved 7am Sat mowing time to precisely 9/16s of an inch. - Lien
I can understand the initial reasons for an HOA, but like anything that allows people to ascend to power it is always corrupted and abused. I know people personally with absolute horror stories about living in an HOA.
HOAs are people who decided they don't have enough government in their lives so they invent more.
When I was looking for the house I currently live in, requirement #1 was "no HOA."
OP's HOA is awesome. Your move.
Lol touché
I'll try, even though I disagree with HOA's. My aunt and uncles neighbor from India painted his house a blood orange / red. It's hideous, and I mean hideous. Nothing in the neighborhood is even close to this thing. It's the biggest eye sore I've ever come across.
It's his house. He has the rigth to do what he wants with it.
Yes, 100% this. Don't like it? Move. People need to learn to leave other people the fuck alone.
Then you don't need to be buying a home in an HOA controlled neighborhood. You have to agree to the rules of the neighborhood before they transfer the deed to you.. don't be a dumb ass and complained about rules you agreed to before buying the home...
I'm sure you drove the neighborhood looked at a whole lot of houses beforehand and decided that you like the way the neighborhood looked you love the home that you bought and the reason why it's like that is because of the HOA
My neighborhood has no HOA. It had one decades ago, but no longer. What it does have is a set of busy bodies trying to reinstate an HOA so they can control everyone else. They lie to people trying to get enough folks to sign on to the idiocy. I think local county ordinance requires 60% agreement to instate an HOA. I fight them whenever I have a chance to, but you'd be amazed how many people just love to be ruled over.
I know it. I run an HOA company. The people that want to run HOA's typical don't have any power in their own lives.
I think HOAs are fine in that they provide an additional choice for homebuyers. If you want a nice, orderly neighborhood with rules, buy a home in an HOA. If you want the freedom to do whatever the fuck you want with your house, then buy one that isn’t part of an HOA.
People should be free to do what they want with their homes.
We should send everyone from India back to India.
When you were buying your home I am sure you looked at lots of homes. However I bet when driving the neighborhood you really.like the way it looked and how well it was kept. Then you buy into it and you don't want to fallow the rules that keep it that way.
If you would just obay the neighborhood rules you signed up for when you baught the home you don't have issues. It's really easy to buy a home that does not have an HOA.
Think about if your neighbor put a neon sign up that says live nudes and paints the house lime green and runs a strip club out of the home. You will be beegging someone to get rid of that person or change it back. A good HOA protects your home and neighborhood value. If you take care of your home right you won't have any issues.
Also if you live in a condo a Or town home you need an HOA to force others to fix a shared roof leak or foundation issue. Clearly you dont understand this.
I own and operate an HOA company. Yes our purpose is to get as much value out of each home. Don't run a shit home you wont have issues.
Nope still scum. The rules are always manipulated and abused. Realtors always forget to mention HOAs and go over the bylaws. I'm not buying a house for "value." Had a realitor fail to mention an HOA that required you to have a car no older than 5 years and the HOA has the discression to not allow any vehicle even in that range that they deem unacceptable. If you looked at the drive ways every car was a GM, if I bought a brand new Ford, they could say no.
I think you mean Obey. If you would just Obey getting a vaccine mandate its for your safety and value of the community.
Running a strip club in a home would be illegal in general and has nothing to do with HOAs. However if the dude wants a neon green house, fuck it let em have a lime green house. The color of the house has no effect on me our how I live my life.
A good HOA is No HOA. Clearly you're just making money running local fascism.
Actually it depends on your state. In Texas there are zero zoning laws so you can run any business you want out of a home and you can have a strip club right next to a school.
Beyond that it's not the realtor's job to tell you about the HOA. It's the title company is job to inform you of the HOA policy rules and guidelines. The title company has you agree to and sign the bylaws and declaration of the neighborhood before they can deed you over the house as a member of the community. You agree to all the rules and regulations at closing that's why it's important to read those hundreds of pages you're given when buying a house.
Many HOAs do have a policy stating you're not allowed to run a business from the home. If you live in a state with no zoning laws you're absolutely allowed to run a strip club out of your house. Your property you're allowed to do what you want with it. Unless you live in an HOA. You agree to the rules of the HOA you need to uphold them.
You're just very ill informed about property and property rights.
You're just trying to justify your power trip.
I'm not it happens. Move to a state with no zoning and a neighborhood with no HOA. When your neighbor decides to become a car mechanic and park every single vehicle he is working on in the street I'm sure you'll be ecstatic about it.
Also I don't have a power trip because I only take direction from the board members of the community. As an HOA manager you're only the voice of the board of the community. What ever they want you have to enforce.
In Texas you can have a church and a school and a strip club in the middle and no one can tell you that you can't. You're allowed to run any business you would like out of your home as well. Your property your allowed to do what you want with it. Unless you agreed to HOA bylaws and declaration you will have to always abide by those rules.
Congrats youre only following orders.
Congratulations you don't understand what you agreed to when you bought your home I'm surprised someone was able to walk you through the process of buying a home. Continue eating your crowns I hear the blue ones taist better.
Happy it worked out for you but there's about a hundred different reasons why I would never "own" a home under an HOA.
You're pretty much renting the house because of the HOA
You're already renting because of property tax
Something I've railed against for years now. No one wants to talk about it for some reason. The fact you will NEVER own your own home just sails over people's heads. I ask them what happens if they paid the bank but don't pay the taxes? They don't have an answer. They just accept it for muh society. Fine, if you think some taxes are to be levied for a "society", then make it literally anything other than a property tax.
F property tax.. how would you reaportion the tax burden?
Fire as many government workers as needed until the burden is gone.
Alternatively, nix retard policies and readjust where those funds go.
Property taxes pay for a lot of important stuff like the DPW, roads, and other municipal infrastructure. That's not easily waved away, and costs a lot.
Schools, on the other hand, probably have a lot of fat to cut, although it's still expensive even if done better. What would you tax instead of property? And I agree properly tax is wrong
You should see discussions at schools. Them complaining they have no money then a week later complaining that have too much to spend and spending it on stupid shit.
Mine spent tens of thousands to make their billboard by the highway digital. Then they replaced our huge passenger vans for sport/school trips with fancy SUVS that carried half as many. Both contained electronics and thus the technology budget could get spent on them. Oh and digital babies for life skills.
Want roads fixed? Aim the tax at the pump back at the roads. It's not going to where it ought.
500 a month...
Agreed, the whole concept is pretty commie, and anti-American in general. Many of our ancestors escaped Europe because they could never own the land they worked on, it was always owned by some rich lord or other nonsense. Come here taming the land and giving something for their grandchildren to OWN. And then you get fucking HOAs. Just a bunch of fucking idiots telling you what you can and can't do on your own fucking property. Screw them.
Absolutely true.
Yes and no. The good ones are great and the bad ones are awful.
Even better, don't buy in to an HOA.
This is 100% true. I would buy acreage on an active volcano before buying into an HOA community again.
It’s hard to avoid HOAs in many places. Seriously tho, avoid them if you can.
Civic Clubs and HOAs are great stepping stones to higher office. I was involved in many, met a ton of politicians at all levels and all sides, and played my cards really, really close in order to get the drunk public servants to speak about their favor projects, I.e. themselves.
Things have changed in the past 15 years, and if I had to do it all again I'd follow the OP's plan of gathering support first and then dropping it on them.
OP also sounds like the kind of person that's not seeking the power trip like most lefties in minor positions of power are so here's to you and a better neighborhood.
My board wants to put in electric charging stations even though no one has an electric vehicle, lol.
Then it is your duty to do 2 hours of work. Cost of installing chargers (220v) in every garage. Cost of charging at your rate. Cost of independent charging stations? Are they non- binary? Can black people use them? How many black people have electric cars? I don’t know, it sounds pretty racist to me.
Your HOA must have a lot of money to burn.
🙄 Time to boot the current regime and fill with MAGA.
Suggest they wait until wireless charging is available for cars. Then start the discussion of the dangers to kids and critters. You should be able to prevent chargers for the foreseeable future. I love the passive aggressive approach.
Taiwan is numba won.
My family’s young based neighbor just got on their HOA board…as President!
HOA are fucking communists and retarded. I'll be damned if you're going to tell me what to do with my fucking property
Its a "community" what you do on your proprty can effec the value of the 0.17 acre lot next to you!
Fuck em. Stay the fuck on your property and leave me alone.
Join our HOA! We can keep your property values high, so when you eventually get sick of petty tyranny, you can sell your home for a high price and gtfo of our HOA! You’ll love it!
Nice job.
I despise HOA but good to hear the leftist policies are getting booted... I hope my local government (that has historically been Republican even though I'm in a Blue state) flips back to Republican next election and repeals all the ordinances the left have been making this last year, they have been in power for a year and have gone liberal stupid, totally ignoring any input from the public they are supposed to represent... It's crazy, they open a proposed ordinance up for debate and well over 75% of the comments are "NO" and once they hear that, they fast-track it and vote "YES" at some unannounced Zoom meeting, where you know everyone is muted except them...
This! This is community!
Take your local city back next!
We've been trying to remove our board for years. There has been suspicions of them laundering money, especially since the management company was owned by a friend of the board and the company is dog shit. We think they even cheated in the election 2 years ago when we tried getting rid of them. Needless to say, we brought lawyers and cops to the last election, got random neighbors to count the votes and we booted the entire board and replaced with MAGA people! Onwards and upward!
Good job! Now disband the HOA entirely.
Fuck yes! This is the way!!!
My HOA the banks of people's mortgage company have to sign off on any "major changes". Like to by-laws (or getting rid of them entirely lol).
When I was looking for a new house my #1, non-negotiable criteria was NO HOA.
MAGA proxy harvesting!
Good for you. This is exactly why ballot harvesting should be illegal though. People who don't care enough to actually vote or make any effort just give their votes to someone who comes to their door.
now that you control the HOA you shall disband it.
100% this.
I would be VERY careful who you tell this to before your HOA is confirmed safe again. Leftists can and will counter-organize, and they have outside money they can call in from the big cities to mess with you.
Good job though! Let us know how it goes.
This always tends to happen because people on the left are more likely to get organized to achieve a political goal that people on the right are. People on the right believe in God and trust he will watch over us and provide for us. We want other people to leave us alone so we leave other people alone. The left believe in and worship governments. They want governments to make all of their decisions for them, so they try to establish a government that will make all of your decisions for them, but will do the same to you. You can’t be allowed to make your own decisions because that will expose how miserable they are at running their own lives.
Yes. Read the above comments on safety and Security.
Good, take control, dissolve it, with noway to reform. Fuck HOA's
Imagine paying someone to tell you what you can and cannot do about your own property.
Retarded right?
You should start by getting rid of your faggy ass HOA.
Cool. Now be a real patriot and dissolve the parasitic group you're so proud to be part of.
Based and winning.
HOAs are a super cucked idea…next
Now do your local school board…
FUCK YEAH!
The secret to lefty power is that they're a bunch of nolifers. They have a dedicated activist class who basically have nothing in their lives but their politics. They seek out little bureaucratic jobs that give them petty fiefdoms to impose politicized rules on others, they fill up every open volunteer position, and they spend their free time protesting and tweeting about politics. Their professors train them to live like that.
And though they're greatly in the minority, they end up ruling over the people who just wanna grill, because those people have other things in their lives and don't wanna bother with politics more than once every 2-4 years. And if they DO bother, they get ground down by the sheer relentlessness of lefties and eventually give up when they're trying to argue with someone who can just hold the floor for hours until they win by exhausting everyone else. But they've so completely abused their power they're starting to activate those people. The silent majority is getting less silent. And once we capture back all those little local positions and bureaucratic gatekeeping jobs, the woke are fucked.
Everyone here should be running for office, or taking a position in their local GOP or a professional organization, many are vacant and you could basically run unopposed. No office is too small to bother with.
Well done, Patriot!!! We're so proud of you and your friends efforts!!!!
in b4 they present mail-in proxy votes and screw your efforts up
I'd bet some money is missing too from the accounts. These kinds of assholes will do that 10 out of 10 times.
One year my buddy and his wife joined the PTO at their kids’ school. It was run by two women who didn’t even have kids at the school anymore. One of the first things my buddy asked was the financial situation. They refused to open the books, which means they were probably skimming. My buddy was ready to go scorched earth on them, but ended up getting a job transfer before he could do anything.
This post illustrates the problem. Most MAGA are too busy carrying the load and too tired after pulling the cart all day to get involved. Seems we let things get to the breaking point before we act. That's when January 6 happens. Now they can sit and persecute us because they have receipts. Like the poster said...get involved..fuck what they think or say...it's better to be hated by liberals than be subservient to their commie ideas.
^^^ THIS
I've always maintained the fundamental flaw with conservatism is that most conservative people just want to be left alone. Thus, they ignore what's happening in their local politics and don't get involved.
This is why I live out in farm county. My Mossberg and Glocks are my H.O.A 😌👌
I know the landlord for many of the residents in my neighborhood, and they're a good friend. So if I say they're gone, they get their notice the next day. Just got some dindu's out who were running rough shot. Hope they enjoy moving in the winter. The thing is, they still deny over 97% of their applicants on background checks. But even a lot of the 3% that do get through are still trash.
What kind of neighborhood is all rentals? Mobile home park or apartment complex is all that comes to mind.
No it's houses lol. They just own hundreds of properties, usually buy up cheap after dindu's destroy them and renovate (which happens a lot). When you've got people piled in a house like it's a clown car, the individual cost goes pretty low too. I've seen several living in a 2-3 bedroom house at a time, not a single one with a damn job.
Yeah, definitely have never seen that, but it makes me thankful I live out in the country. Land is not cheap here so it's almost exclusively white folks.
Good for you. Im not a fan of HOA's, something about the whole freedom thing. I mow my yard without anyone telling me to. Not because "keeping up" with my neighbors, but because I like to.
I’m so glad we don’t have an HOA.
I have no authoritarians to deal with. Thankfully our little section is fairly self regulated.
I lead by example so I have petty good maintenance, dropped a new fence and a whole deck and rear upgrade. This has shamed everyone into making sure their maintenance is up.
Beware the 3AM votes.
Lol they'll mail in ballots from the Section 8 residents that live on the other side of town
Problem is they're still alive.
What do they do, versus what will you do? Idk how having it be MAGA vs lefty would make much of a difference (I’ve never really dealt with an HOA however, so yeah, genuine question)
Leftists NEED control and power/authority. Being in a position with authority, there will be a never ending list of things to comply with, and brutal enforcement of the slightest deviation from their direction.
MAGA? Just leave people the fuck alone and let them live their lives.
HOA are exactly like commies. Only good when dead. Otherwise they will do everything they can to gain enough power to ruin your life, while you are busy working for a living or spending time with your family.
My getting involved is not living with an HOA.
I did the same thing. I took over the board and got enough people in with me to control every vote.
Aim small. Miss small. Good work. All the best to you. Keep making your part of America Great Again.
A coup at Del Boca Vista!
Wow! This is how it's done.
This is the way.
Excellent post, great read
This is the way
“My first act as HOA President will be to disband the HOA.”
