That your defense of owning 'decent cars' while renting a place is some how a qualifier that you are in the right.

I can't think of a single area (that I've encountered) in Texas where that is true, even in areas where the average home price is 1M+.

Dude you seriously just like arguing with people don't you? I'm not saying I'm in the right. The homeowners don't like the way cars at my house look, fine, they pay the dues. I'm just ranting because in my opinion that's pretty stuck up and inconsiderate.

Parking on the street here is perfectly legal. So unless you have anything relevant to add to the thread go try to boost your low self esteem in another thread.

No not at all, however; you are merely a renter and you are indeed impacting those of means to afford a home in that area. I am sure others are having people over and get togethers without causing such an uproar. There has to be something they singled you out for, more than likely it's some kind of behavior like people flying down the roads, booming, burning rubber out of the neighborhood after the party, crap left behind, etc.

Also by your own explaination (you live in a private community), they are not wanting cars on the road way or outside a garage (probably over night). If you cannot have everyone park on your driveway without blocking the sidewalk then that's a problem. I am sure there are places the HOA has for parking like the club house or a park. You should use them.

HOA rules apply to anyone living in the HOA, it's like someone visiting from out of the country saying since they aren't a citizen our laws don't apply to them. I don't see how others in this thread are so ignorant to this fact.

Most professional adults don't put a value on their 'worth' by stating "well my friends are important because they own the following vehicles...". I'd take a picture with all those cars and your place to let us see how they beautify the place.

Something like "I don't know WTF people have a problem with. My friends are mostly professionals, they aren't causing a scene coming and going and we wrap it up just after midnight. They claim I can't have any cars in my driveway, yet they do not provide any overflow parking options...we have no park, club house, etc. Others use their driveways regularly. I think I am being singled out because I am a renter which is allowed in this community"
 
Also the option of voiding a lease applies to allowing you to move out without recourse from the landlord. It gives you the option to live there still (providing you honor the lease), but knowing that you may be asked to leave at anytime by new owners of the property.

It's not a loophole that lets people live rent-free and become eyesores.

Negative, we aren't loud at all. More peaceful than any of the families with kinds in our area.

Can you read? They are fine with cars on the road, they are not fine with the type of vehicles. They are basically saying your friends cars are crappy and they are lowering our property values. The only reason I listed the makes and models was to show how frivolous they are being. These cars are average, not rusted out eyesores.

See above. I am not putting a value on anything based on what someone drives.

They do not provide overflow parking, there is street parking. The issue is them being so stuck up that they complain about average cars in the neighborhood. Almost everyone there has newer luxury cars, I don't think its fair that in order for my friends to come visit they have to have luxury cars.

I don't know why they don't like us, we obviously don't fit into their social circle but I am polite to all my neighbors. I've helped a few of the members with their cars. Nothing major, showed a lady how to change a tire, pulled a car out of the ditch last winter, and changed a fuel pump on my neighbors car for free.

It doesn't seem that the residents around me have a problem, I think the issue here is the community is in a circle, our house is at the entrance. The first thing people see when they enter the community is our house and cars. The complaints are coming from the back end of the community where the mcmansions on the lake are located. But again these aren't rust buckets, and I don't feel I should be limited to how many guests I have park on a road my tax dollars paid for.

I do not think I am exempt from the rules, I was notified when I moved in I couldn't keep the boat outside, I moved it to a storage facility. Were were told the outdoor house lights need to be on at night, I put them on a timer.

I've been more then polite and respectful to all their requests, this particular one is over the top.

um, no.

Most residential streets are able to be parked on unless it is an emergency designated street during winter. Of course you can park on residential streets in front of your house, that's just common sense unless you live in that shithole called Florida.

Odd... most everywhere I've been (florida included) the only places you CAN'T park are specifically posted as such. There are a few town ordinances here and there you have to be aware of - such as no parking on side X of the street (alternate parking) on days Y (for cleaning/plowing purposes). But in no town I have ever been in has there been ANY ordinance that says blanket you can not park on a street.

Of course you're the Charlie Sheen of the ATOT world, so you don't give a shit and you're winning. Duh.

Well, Florida seems to be only hated by those that are.

Unless of course they are one of our borderline illegals raping the welfare / medicaid systems down here.

Thanks for keeping track though.

No no Zargon, we just live in a poor area.

I've been to plenty of cities and suburbs in Florida that had parking on residential streets. I still don't know what Alky is talking about.
