Move to Arizona

M Mike, were you really happy with your HOA when you had to dismantle your storage shed because it showed above your fence line 6"? Your points about the Ma and Pa Kettle are certainly spot on. Some "reasonable-ness" by HOA rules could both ensure property values and aesthetic virtues while not totally impinging on personal choice rights.

JMHO, but THOSE are the exact types of "rules" that aggravated me enough to move out of my old neighborhood -

I've seen where people have had to dismantle storage sheds, pool slides, and even their kid's swing sets, just because they were visible over the top of a 6 foot concrete block wall... To me, that is fundamentally absurd.

Maybe such policies make more sense in a neighborhood (like Las Sendas), where you pay a premium for "the view" but not in a flat subdivision, 20 miles from the nearest mountain range.... Again, JMHO.
