Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for January 21, 2025

I think I “like” this bunch even less than Slim’s conniving mother.

Gotta wonder if this will end up all the way to the SCOTUS! Or, hopefully, Mayor Melba will nip it in the bud before it goes that far.

They just hear what they want to hear!

The guy in the green jacket looks more pale than usual.

As a buddy of mine who is a Vietnam veteran would say, “Time for Gertie to kick b-tt and take no prisoners!”

They are Democrats.

And she slams the door on the HOA people!

If you have an issue with your neighbor, talk with your neighbor. It would eliminate the perceived necessity for these busy body control freaks.

Actually, rondm66, out in the Colorado front range, the HOAs with paid yard nazis tend to skew republican.

Sorry, Four-Eyes, Man Mountain, and Karen, you don’t get to say anything about a registered, live-in caregiver. Also, why is the HOA doing this themselves? Why haven’t they gotten their “enforcers” to do this, i.e. the property management company that does all the dirty work for them for a cut of the extortion fees?

Yeah, Imma gonna say it: most HOAs should be prosecuted as organized crime.

I guess Jim Scancarelli has recently had a run-in with an HOA.

I don’t doubt any of the HOA horror stories I read about.

But, as a 7 year HOA president (because I can’t get anyone else to take over the job), I don’t understand how people have the time to be so petty. It’s all we can do to keep the elevators running, the trash collected, the HVAC in good shape, the appropriate city and state inspections done, the assessments being paid, the management firm’s monthly financial reports checked, etc. My point is that there’s enough unpaid work that NEEDS to be done.

Should have tased them all.

Attagirl,Gertie.Now fire up the ol’ garden hose.

“Running a business out of his house”??Walt’s been retired longer than you were alive!!

We have just passed the “silly” line and are firmly into “stupid” territory, a place that Jimbo is all to familiar. Let’s hope that he’s not going for “brain dead” with this story.

I stopped my HOA from knocking or ringing my bell. My Ring doorbell cover simulates a Claymore mine clearly labeled ‘this side to enemy’ and my front gate has the red triangle warning sign MINES
