Law Florida HOA bans homeowner from parking (overnight parking) his pickup in his driveway .

[MicroBrew]

A Florida HOA has a law banning pickups and commerical vehicles in driveways (from 11 pm - 5am). So homeowners with pickups have to park in a parking lot that is about a mile from home, then get a ride back to their house. It costs each pickup owner $500 a year to park at this parking lot.

Florida legislature just passed a law (went into effect July 1st) banning such HOA laws, but the above HOA says they will continue to enforce the ban. The HOA can get away with it because the new FL law is not retroactive .

--
Most standard American garages are not long enough to accomadate modern crew-cab pickups. Pickups have been getting longer and wider.

Makes no sense to blanket ban pickups, because it is fairly common for the average American to own a pickup as a family vehicle. And pickups can look very fancy. The F150 is the best selling vehicle in America.

Some HOAs are fine and some are dicks.

Time to start “falling down”

Basically a ban on working-class people living in the community. It's just funny now because like 90% of truck owners these days are dorks who work in a office but want to feel 'badass.'

Don't project your homoerotic fantasy on me.

This thread is about an HOA banning pick up trucks from parking at their own homes. Not Trump

[Pittie Petey]

Meh, they agreed to the rules when they moved in, whats the outrage angle here?

Okay...

So everyone in that community has a blinged out Trumper Truck?

Just saying. Your first reaction to a non Trump story was to mention Trump. Then threw out homoerotic suggestions towards me when I pointed it out.

Perhaps some introspection is due?

Anyway HOAs are trash, I hate them and I'd never live in one.

Craziest part is that people still moved in knowing the rule and just agreed to park down the street and have been doing it for years. Even if you just really wanted to live in an HOA neighborhood, why wouldn't you pick a different one where you can park your own car in your own driveway?

 

[Sweater of AV]

Lol at not being able to park in your own driveway.

Maybe when they moved in they were motivated to get in better shape and the planned on riding a bicycle to and from their truck as a way to lose weight. Then, like so many out there, they got off track and eventually gave up on working toward their fitness goals.

HOAs sound like nightmares.

Why do people sign those?

 

[Long Dark Blues]

What gives HOAs their power? What happens if you don't listen to them and do what you want? Does the government get involved?

An HOA is so foreign a concept to me, it seems absurd.

People like to be told what to do

And then they set in their little work cubicles and act like bad ass rebel freedom fighters on the internet
