    I don’t think anybody has a problem with the fact that a building houses more than one family…

    I don’t have a problem with that, but I do have a problem with being forced to obey the petty, tyrannical whims of whoever manages the building. HOAs have a bad reputation for a reason.

      Haha yeah this! I lived in a HOA and we had to fight over petty details! I moved out as soon as I could! We should have broken down the HOA instead.

      The leader of the council had a very small backyard and almost convinced everyone to ban patios and sheds because he didn’t have enough room for either… 😑
