There are, however, HOA board members that like to exert their authority just because they can. My neighbors receive threatening letters if they parked their vehicles in a certain area for too long. Meanwhile, our entire street is filled with pickups and an occasional RV parking on the street.
You have to try it. I’ve ice fished in Wisconsin during my youth, and later in Montana. Never had a shanty. But, spending time with friends while being active outdoors was worth it. If we had a shanty, probably spend more time drinking than drilling for fish.
Good for you. Did a tandem dive when I turned 60. That was my first dive, and probably my last. There are much more interesting ways to spend my time and money than drop out of an airplane and free fall for 30 seconds.
I hate HOAs! For the most part they only serve the interests of the board members and the businesses in the area.
