Think I might paint my house like that since I cant decide on colors for the exterior.
You might want to check with your neighbors first , if enough people complaint to the city about your house you could force to repaint it.
Yeah... if you only seen THEIR houses, Id force them to tear them down... no ordenances or codes to violate here as far as painting goes so nothing to worry with. If I wanted to paint it 100 shades of pink, nothing they could do.
I know towns are very strict with people painting their house too wild looking. I know my city would not allow that . One guy painted his a color that was not consider a historic color and people made a stink over it. The house was painted over by new owners . I happen to like the color the guy painted his house. Then that is cool you can do that . We can only have a flag up for holiday in my condo . I thought about putting up a curtain made of fabric that looked like a flag just to bug the trustees .
When I lived in ST Louis City, there are historic homes and one guy painted his very cool looking with multi shades of blues and purples, Neighbors complained about the blue, so went to court and he won, but was pissed off about having to hire lawyers and wasted money so he had the entire house painted in the ugliest mustard yellows and shades of yellows, just in retalliation to the neighbors complaints to piss them off...lol
It still stands and has been maintained with the same ugly yellows to this day... over 25 years now.
I don't understand how intentionally painting one's house weird color combinations as "revenge" against the HOA benefits the homeowner. Who does the pink roof bother? Unless the HOA officers live next door or across the street they don't have to look at it but the residents do. Have the homeowners never heard of the saying, "Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face"?
A new roof or exterior paint job isn't cheap, so I don't understand these "investments."
When people buy their houses they voluntarily agree to accept their neighborhood's HOA. If they don't like that kind of arrangement they should buy a house in an unincorporated county area that doesn't have an HOA.Read First Amendment.
HOA can kiss my ass and I will take ALL WAY to US Supreme Court.
Indeed, weird.Funny, one of neighbor complained about new plush carpet installed in my room and she told me that I need buy approved carpet from Don's, so I told her about HOA rule doesn't apply to indoor. She went tell on HOA president and they said that HOA rule only applies to outside, not inside.
What's weird woman.

I know that some HOA's are run by unreasonable people (who are elected by the residents), and some of their rules don't make sense but I also know that neighborhoods without HOA's can also devalue and become rundown.
People need to investigate the HOA situation before buying a house, and then decide whether or not they can live with it. If they get stuck with bad leadership, they need to vote them out.
Indeed, weird.
Maybe she gets a sales commission from Don's and was trying to drum up business for him.
