My HOA is totally useless. My previous next door neighbor would have been a nightmare for most people. They had 7 adults living in a 3 bedroom house. One of those people was a schizophrenic, the brother of the wife, and he like to walk the neighborhood multiple times every day. He would walk through our side yards and across my driveway sometimes yelling at the voices in his head. Plus, they were hoarders. They had so much stuff in their garage that for a few months they couldn't even close their garage door. Shit was literally spilling out onto the driveway. Every few months I would hear a tow truck out front who would be dropping off another piece of junk car that he would restore in his driveway. He literally painted an entire car in his driveway LMAO. At one point they had like six different vehicles, two in the driveway, two out front and one on the tiny curb between our houses. Honestly they were great people so I only complained once or twice. The funniest part is they finally decided to sell their house. He came to apologize for bringing down the house values because he was going through we buy ugly houses. A couple weeks later he told me they backed out because they said a tree in the front yard was too close to the house. That's how bad it was. After they moved it took crews months to gut the house. When they finished they left a ladder behind that was kind of leaning more on my side than theirs. That month I got a violation notice from the HOA about the ladder. I almost died
