planned communities scare me

[Goosemaster]

those places share the bejesus's out of me. the people are so freaky, everything is jsut a little too perfect, all our clients complain fo the regulations, and the build quality is absoltuely disgraceful.


More work for us, but I can't believe people live like that.

Not if you eat at taco bell first and activate some 'natural defensive mechanisms'


A few bean borritos and that lion will be begging for a reprieve

Planned communities and home owners associations are the devil in diguise. Seriously.

 

[JLGatsby]

Because we all know the build quality is superior in American's urban ghettos. :roll:

Better to live in suburbia than some ghetto.

that has to the the most ignorant thing you ever said.


fvk I was in southeast today and although those houses are more than a hundred years old, they are solid as hell.

these POS communities out here in the middle of nowhere are sh!t in comparison. No wonder we get so much business fixing the messes left behind.

Ever been in one? Most of those 'ghetto' houses have been around since the 50s-60s(alot of times longer) and they are still standing. The biggest danger from them is lead paint.

I have yet to hear of any reports of cookie cutter houses collasping. You act like they're made of cardboard.

I live in a house less than 5 years old and it's built 10 times better than the 50+ year old house I grew up in. The floors are sturdier and quiet, and walls feel more solid when you pound on them, everything is superior.

It's just "fashionable" to bash suburbia and exaggerate about the quality, which is what most do.

Actually I'm not bashing suburbia. The first house I lived in was built in 1906, in the suburbs and was built solid as a rock. The house I live in now was built in 1963, also suburbs, 'cookie cutter' style and it feels just as solidly built as the other house.

Just keep in mind building standards(and supplies) were not what they are today.

so seeing this with my own two eyes everyday...seeing people complaing of crappy paint jobs, bad drywall installs, cracked foundations, faulty electrical work, unconscionable plumbing, etc is all a figment of my imgaination?

In theory HOAs are good, but some do get a little crazy with their requirements. HOAs should be delt with more responsability for their upkeep after all only the people that live in those neighborhoods use those streets. I beleive gated communities are responsable for their streets, but they are still lucky enough to pay city taxes as well. What a deal.


The taliban was rumoured to have started off as a HOA and we know how that turned out.


But with all that being said, I am member of our HOA and we put in quite a few volunteer hours every month to keep the neighborhood going(lights, common area, pool). I am sure there are plenty of nieghborhoods where the HOA does more good than harm.
