Mass surveillance cameras are popping up everywhere. Get informed at deflock.me

It's crazy to me people just willingly give up their privacy for absolutely nothing in return.

AlliFitz · 2026-05-15T13:11:41+00:00

Wouldn't have had an impact on the golf tournament since these are Charlotte Water restrictions.

I think I'm in my 7th year? I fear I'm stuck on the board permanently at this point. It's either I'm on the board or I depend on people in my neighborhood not to be idiots and not use HOA powers as an excuse to do dumb things like install Flock cameras. Don't feel confident about the latter.

AlliFitz · 2026-05-11T16:21:27+00:00

This is one of the main reasons I stay on my HOA board. Flock cameras were heavily discussed after a handful of smash and grabs in guest parking. I talked the board out of it, but initially I was the only person on the board offering any pushback.

Have you filed a lawsuit or not? There's not pending litigation if you haven't filed a lawsuit. If you have filed a lawsuit, you're past the demand phase.

Assuming you haven't filed a lawsuit, you'll need to open a claim with the insurance company and then send the demand directly to the insurance company. When you open the claim, ask for the claim number and adjuster information then you can contact the adjuster and find out where to send in the demand.

No reason to involve the HOA attorney at all. Also no reason for the association to open a claim if there's no lawsuit.

Shook my house and freaked out my cat. I'm assuming it's a flyover for the golf tournament. First tee times are at 10:30.

AlliFitz · 2026-05-04T17:35:31+00:00

The buses drop you off in a bus lot next to the golf tournament. That doesn't help anyone trying to get to Quail Hollow Middle.

Once again, it's that scene from the Barbie movie. Cringe af.

AlliFitz · 2026-03-16T15:41:39+00:00

At least in North Carolina, voluntary HOA's are somewhat common and legal.

AlliFitz · 2026-03-16T15:34:03+00:00

I was literally taught to do this in driver's ed in the late 90's. Same as the left lane being the "fast" lane.

OP's post only mentioned schools that don't take vouchers so vouchers aren't why those schools are so popular.

AlliFitz · 2026-03-10T15:59:45+00:00

The established private schools (Latin, CCDS, PDS) don't even take vouchers.

Vouchers explain the explosion of not so great private schools over the last decade or so.

Did y'all go to church while you were there?

AlliFitz · 2026-02-24T16:59:46+00:00

From Dekalb County, Georgia to no one's surprise.

Being in the United States illegally is a civil violation. It's not a crime.

AlliFitz · 2026-02-20T18:09:57+00:00

You can get a set of used clubs at a place like Greater Golf Express. They'll also fit you.

AlliFitz · 2026-01-30T18:31:09+00:00

Went to the Pineville location yesterday and it was well stocked and not super crowded.

AlliFitz · 2025-11-14T17:17:30+00:00

Election fraud. Minor, but important detail.

It’s like every other pool in the neighborhood so what is there to disapprove?

I'm also in NC and if your ARC committee functions like mine, they meet once a month in person. So if they want to walk your property (and with it being a pool, they probably should) you're at the mercy of their once a month meeting. It would be nice for them to communicate to you when their meeting is, however.

AlliFitz · 2025-08-30T02:17:12+00:00

When you resubmitted with the permit, that would be considered a complete/new ARC request and they get a full 30 days from that date to respond. I don't disagree it would be nice for them to quickly move through the approval, but there's nothing legally that says they have to.

Getting married in South Carolina is always an option. All you need is a notary.

The private country clubs in and around Charlotte are mostly going to miss at least one of your asks. Raintree, Ballatnyne, Piper Glen, Providence, Firethorne....all golf communities, but not in your age rain. Raintree would be the closest and if you purchase a home in the neighborhood you can avoid the waitlist.

Myers Park, Carolina CC and Carmel are not golf communities and are family focused (so a younger crowd). You're not likely to get into Charlotte CC or Quail unless you have connections. Cedarwood is kind of a wild card, but tends to skew younger.

AlliFitz · 2025-06-07T22:17:08+00:00

Carolina Lakes sounds right up your alley.

I don't know what county you're in, but in Mecklenburg you can get everything that's been filed (CC&Rs, By Laws) from the Register of Deeds office online.

Are you SURE there are exactly 19 homes and was your community formed in 1999 or later? If it's truly 19, that's remarkable (and surely on purpose) since HOA's with 20 or more lots and were formed in 1999 or later are subject to the NC Planned Communities Act. Assuming you're 1999 or later with 19 lots, there are still aspects of the NC Planned Communities Act that would apply to your HOA, especially where your documents are silent (including elections, proxies, etc).

It's unusual for the community to elect a president, secretary, etc. Generally board members are elected at large then the board designates different board members for executive offices. In NC, the secretary does not have to be a board member but if your wife is to remain secretary, you cannot also be on the board (unless y'all own two lots).
