To answer why people buy in an HOA, in my area at least, they are most common with condo or townhouse developments. The condo/townhome are typically significantly cheaper than standalone homes. Ranging between 2/3 to 1/2 the cost per interior square foot. They in that way replace the market niche that starter homes used to fill

Thanks for the video Rob. Have a good evening

28:14 (time stamp is end of story) this is how parents should act, supporting your kids and their friends while teaching them an actually useful life lesson instead of just getting WAYYYYY to pissed of at your kids for doing something that they didn't know was "wrong" even tho it isn't wrong at all

[@Birchboyarbor]

I rlly needed this today lol

[@Akusick]

@ 28:30, you said you wouldn't buy a property if there was an HOA, well, thats the best part, a realtor doesn't need to inform you of an HOA. It can come as a complete surprise, and for some reason, that's not illegal... HOA's in general should be illegal.

[@skylergarza8371]

At least in the United States, you're not a member of the HOA without joining it willingly, some states will allow them to hide the membership in the purchasing contract, but most require disclosure on its own specific line on disclosure sheets

[@Birchboyarbor]

The amount of stories that involve bosses/managers asking for time stamps of every event throughout the day is absurd! You’d think even the stupidest of people would realize that is a terrible idea, though I guess stupid can always get stupider

Micro Manglement! Workers have to take time to fill it out, and then they feel SUPER watched! I get they are trying to keep productivity high, but phew... No worker will ever back that lol.

HOA is essentially a Karen's dream. It standardizes "normalcy" in a neighborhood so that everyone has to look and conduct themselves in a proper way that the local HOA deems necessary in order to maintain the quality and value of all the homes in the neighborhood. It also makes it very easy for the Karen to force people to comply with her wishes. If kids are playing tag outside, Karen simply has to file a complaint to HOA, and kids will never make obnoxious noise outside again. Sometimes she doesn't even need to file a complaint at all, cuz HOA is always watching and will nip the problem in the bud.

[@robinkelly1770]

Ummm what problem...

[@LaffeeTaffeeGG]

@@robinkelly1770 Having your trash cans 3 inches too close to your neighbor's house, that's the problem. Now go to jail.

[@giancarloc1985]

That poor babysitter. Those kids sound like demons. I agree with the one comment in reply. The babysitter possibly had civil recourse.

[@Icalasari]

Man, it is dumb to have gotten a charge for malicious compliance when OP spent over a year trying to convince their boss why the idea was stupid Like... They were not going to listen to anything less than all that paper to the face

[@ladyj.9350]

Depends on the type of jellyfish tbh. There were these tiny jellies everywhere in the water one year. We still went swimming a couple times and just got stung. Honestly mosquito bites were way worse the than the mildly annoying little red dots that would disappear overnight. They stung a tiny bit and that was it

[@thetherrannative]

I had to repeat 6th grade because I did no work. That was the massive kick in the pants I needed to at least complete the bare minimum for the rest of middle school. I also had to attend summer school when I failed classes in high school, and that too served some lessons. Consequences for failure MUST be a part of a child's growth. Taking away opportunities or forcing them to redo what they messed up is absolutely necessary for a child to mature correctly. I always hate stories about schools passing students no matter what. I desperately needed the punishments I got, and it makes me so sad that kids nowadays will never get that shock into action.

[@lncarnold]

I work for an HOA and there is a good thing buying in one. Your property values are affected by how every other home near you looks. I don’t personally live in one and kinda wish I could use something, anything, to get our neighbors to mow, remove blackberry vines growing up the side of their house, a car with a flat tire and moss under it etc. Its been hard to sell my house for a fair price with no way to get others to have some pride in their home. Sure HOAs can be a pain but in the long run, they can be good! Oh,,,and a fine is not posted until after a few courtesy notices first. If that is the case, sorry! Not cool.

[@1UkuleleDude]

Why buy a house in an HOA? Typically it is the mantra of real estate, location, location, location. Right school system, right commute length, right price. In our case, right view! But our HOA has been very low key and the focus is on getting the streets plowed and keeping our community park operational. And most of the funding comes from renting boat slips and winter boat storage in the park.

For the Jimi Hendrix story, OP could have reported the program to copyright lawyers who could sue OP’s company. They would then need to pay a license fee and stop using it or public claim that OP was the creator without company say, publicly acknowledging OP as the sole owner of the program. OP would need to pay for using it, but could then take that acknowledgement and sue the company for stealing his program.

[@Icalasari]

1:51:00 - Would health and safety violations apply with a rusty machine? Maybe OP should try calling about that and get the boss eventually fired for needing to replace the machines so often

[@alfonzalynn9387]

People who buys a house in a HOA it's not for the HOA it's because of the house the HOA is like the person thinks its their business to tell you what you can and can't do

[@DrewskisBrews]

I'm not saying I'm a fan, but HOA's are usually implemented by the developer to make an appealing neighborhood for the purpose of selling the properties. Part of that appeal are community perks like clubhouses and pools. There are common expenses like groundskeeping for common areas, etc.

[@gamer749]

HOAs are meant to protect property values as a whole....within reason. They also manage common areas that belong to the community. (playgrounds, community pools, landscaping on HOA lots, ect.) The problem comes when HOA boards become overreaching of this purpose and attempt to control the lives of the residents. Sadly, there is yet to exist an oversight entity that can keep HOAs in check. If there were, HOAs would be far more bearable.

If your the parents and are wanting to keep working WHY do you have 7 kids. I can understand 1 or 2 possibly 3, but 7 WTF

[@sam11182]

Make sure you are good friends with the veterans there because The both of you together can enforce the laws the HOA is purposefully ignoring. Most of the USA Congress are a LOT of the speaker for the house of each state who are sexyally fantasizing about running their own dictatorship and because they failed becoming a government employed Billionaire (not from their pay checks but the insane bribes from the stuff creators or insider trading), they became Mini dictatorships of their own Gates Communities. They are authoritarian and they loathe when they are forced to pay for the laws they broke veterans often have Very little understanding of the government laws that passed while they were our sacrificing their lives and they will just accept whatever and accept the miniscule pay for their service. But if You gather them and whatever lawyers that are NOT the HOA shills, you can squeeze the false authoritarian dictators like you might crush a tube of toothpaste. The whole world is at your fingertips!

Sucks. There is so much food waste in the restaurant and grocery industries, but here's a tidbit. The amount of food available in the United States is on average 4,000 calories which is about double what the human average person needs and that includes for every baby child teenager, young adult, middle-aged adult and elderly

I'm not an Manager, but I think you have a Misconception about Manager. A good Manager doesn't need do know what exactly People under them do. Their Job is to make the Bosses Happy and keep the Employees productive and Happy. It's always good to Look, and learn about what their Employees are doing. But it is Not always necessary.

[@Kati_P]

Not always, but in my experience it's better for your boss to have a little more than a nodding acquaintance with what it is you do and how to do it for a few reasons. 1.) If you need guidance you should be able to go to your manager directly and have them be able to help you, not farm out the responsibility to gods-know-who. 2.) They can't always effectively maintain quality standards if they don't know how to make a quality product or exact a quality service themselves. 3.) Better informed managers tend to have slightly more realistic expectations of their employees. That doesn't always hold true, of course, but as a general rule, it does. There are a few industries where it doesn't matter too much if managers have more than a base knowledge of what the people under them do, but I usually prefer an informed manager, myself.

I would like to point out that special projects is sometimes the code for the clean-up crew department. I work for a company that uses the special projects code for actually qualified people to go in and fix what someone not qualified broke.

[@tomanycooks]

What is a HOA?

[@permafrost4564]

Home Owners Association Literally they are meant to maintain common areas such as a park or a pool or a gate in a gated neighborhood which would include paying the agent, and try to maintain house prices by enforcing rules.
