Riptide, that really is a shame about your mower, sorry you had to get aggravated by it again.
I'd remember the ice cream and leave it at that...
After you have had one too many bad news neighbors, I think a HOA might be an answer for many.
But clearly many of us have a live free or die orientation. We must follow an enormous number of civil and criminal
laws on the books and enforceable already. And some of those laws are clearly asinine, particularly the older ones about
regulating the approved and unapproved ways of making love to your wife, just for example.
But I have to tell you, boy would I like a HOA in my community. Just think, the abandoned drunk farmer's dump would have to be cleaned up.
All those dead cars without tags gathering weeds in poorly mowed back yards would get towed out. All those piles of tires would have to go too and the lawn mowers by the dozens that will never run again.
And the house at the end of the street where the garage is half falling down and representing a public menace, well....
And anyone caught littering would be tar and feathered.
Don, sign me up. :thumbsup:
I am a really serious believer in land use zoning and when even that isn't enforced, it doesn't reflect well on the community.
Where Don lives everyone is on their best behavior, except their dogs occasionally. The general public is not like Don's community members and that's why they want to live there. Like minded individuals who don't want their now I'm really retired and having fun too experience
messed up by the few who always try to spoil the community apple barrel.
We have the joy of choice. Like the burger, have it your way.
I can't imagine living anywhere without that choice.
