No need to call in the yard gestapo!

I'm not trying to argue here but there is a limit on leaving the can out by the curb. I say the first night you can get away with it but after that time to pick it up. Most of the time they smell (heck it's a garbage can) I know when I lived in Bossier you were sent a letter from the HOA if you left your can out on the side of the house. It had to be put in the back of the house or in the garage. Most people don't like rules and feel that they should be able to do what they want to do if they live there, well if you are in a sub w/ an HOA, you can't thats what you pay dues for.

I have lived both in the country and in the city and with hoa rules and non-hoa rules. I personally love the HOA RULES! No boats, broken down cars in the front yards, rules on how out of control your garden can get, how dirty your house and roof can be etc. I live by those rules now and have been warned just recently. I pay 125.00/month to live here as does everyone else they just want to keep the community looking good and I'm all for it.

A $125/month HOA fee ?

They should freakin' take out my trash, and put it up for me for that much
We pay a few dollars each year, for some guy who maintains the neighborhood entrance, keeps it well landscaped with flowers etc. and pays the electric bill for the lighting.

I broke it down but it's like 450 per quarter and I did see the breakdown of it in december its over 1 million to maintain this place understand i live in S. Florida they cut the grass 45 times a month don't ask me to explain I would have to break out the paperowrk but the maintenance is crazy this included the golf course and club house with pool, gym, basketball court and more this sub i live in HUGE so imagine 1 million a year and i pay 450 a quarter
