I had bad neighbors across the street from me, and they were forced to clean up, and thankfully eventually moved...making ME the "redneck" on the block.
Oh no doubt, we live in North Calvert in a pretty exclusive neighborhood and we still have neighbor problems. But at lease they keep their yard neat :) .

I really can not stand HOAs. I really can't, I mean I hate them with a passion which burns like the sun.

Our neighbor hood has no HOA and we all live in harmony (for the most part).

My feeling is if you need a HOA you didn't buy in the right neighborhood. Pay a little more for your home and land and you can price out the kind of people who make HOAs necessary.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I can't stand HOA's either. But this one is pretty easy to deal with as long as you simply pay your dues and then forget that they exist.
