Pumps' Perplexities

Oh good.....You are moving into a planned community with
an active homeowner's association....How nice.....For a few
extra bucks a month, on top of your mortgage payment, you
will have some security and a group of people "watching
out for things".....

Sounds nice but such is not the case in many instances.....
While you are responsible for some parts of your house,
you are not on others.....You can fix a window, but the
association must approve a change in exterior color.....
You may hang a flag, but of an approved size and placement.....

Your grass may be mowed or your deck washed but at a cost
of a yearly increase of monthly dues set by a governing body....
What you have here is a mini-bureaucratic communist
society and a lot of people do not realize it......Pumps
