And, HOAs are stupid. I will make sure I get a house where there is NO HOA at all because HOAs are evil and they control EVERYTHING even if you own the house. I see no point in living in a house that I paid for or am paying the mortgage for if I can't do with it what I want, can't paint the house any color I want except boring light or shit brown color like my dad's house (his house is a shit brown color) and if I can't have my children's toys in the front yard (that is a normal thing, isn't it? Why do people complain so much about other people who have their children's toys and bikes in the front yard - you can't really expect children to behave like perfect adults and keep everything neat and perfect and hidden away - children are supposed to play and be messy with their toys in the yards like in the old days of the 1950s and 1960s cause that is what is normal for them - psychologists say so!) and if I can't do what I want with my front and back lawn and other dumb shit. If I had a house and I adhered to everything the stupid HOA says, it will make me feel like I am nothing but a tenant in MY OWN HOUSE that I PAID FOR, and make me feel like the HOAs are the landlords of who I do not pay the rent to. Especially if I either have already paid the house off in full with my own MONEY or am paying the MORTGAGE to the BANK with my own MONEY. MY MONEY. MY HOUSE. FUCK HOAs. All they care about is maintaining their stupid property values and they are nothing but a bunch of crybabies who likes everything to be "boring, neat, and plain". Fuck that shit. My future house will be unique and beautiful and colorful and interesting, that's for sure, and if the whole world complains about my house, I will be more than happy to tell them to kiss my ass and to go fuck themselves and to go suck some dick, because I DO NOT CARE. IT IS NOT THEIR HOUSE! IT IS MY HOUSE! If you do not own the house, then you do not have the right to complain about it. STFU and get a LIFE! If it is really bothering you so much, then I suggest that you wear a blindfold so you won't have to see the house anymore.
