Man Sets House On Fire, Dies In It, After Losing Home To Homeowners Association
Man Sets House On Fire, Dies In It, After Losing Home To Homeowners’ Association

Feuds between homeowners and homeowners’ associations can get pretty intense, as BoingBoing pointed out twice last week. One feud in Ogden, NC, was so bad that the man’s house was sold by the court to pay for dues and fines levied by the association. The house was sold earlier this summer, reports the Star-News, and last month the man doused everything in gas and set the place on fire.
The cause of all the trouble? A fence and planters:
“
[The victim] violated the covenants of the homeowners’ association by building a white picket fence, shed and “round, black objects in the front yard” without approval from the Architectural Review Committee, according to the complaint. On Sunday, the “round, black objects” were dug into the front yard and held plants.
”

That was good! Before I went to nursing school I managed a condominium complex and worked closely with the HOA, it was a particularly good one though for a long time. Then come to find out the president of the HOA had opened a bank account and extorted money. I was a buffer between the HOA and the residents, I considered myself the residents employee.
The meetings of the HOA drove me to quit, like a Nazi camp meeting.

This reminded me of an episode of the X-files. It was one of their rare semi-humorous episodes and was an excellent satire on out-of-control HOAs.

I briefly lived in a house with a HOA in the late 1980s and I couldn't wait to leave. The HOA president went out every day on roller skates to check the community to make sure everyone was in compliance and that everyone's garage door was closed!

I don't think I could live in a residence with a HOA, they are Nazis and worse than the banks.
