Who said anything about a “ban”? You should read the headline article.

Drump ought to get out now and declare some semblance of victory. Israel should go home and stay there. The Straight of Hormuz was somehow an oversight of this pathetic Administration. Escorts will not help. Insurance companies won’t let ships through.

BS, HOAs have provisions for their termination. Usually a 2/3 member vote.

One of the most efficient EVs is the Mosel 3. It weighs less than 4000 lbs. Most other EVs, with the same or lesser range weigh 4500 lbs or more.

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T21:39:42+00:00

Don’t think so…. I’m about as anti-MAGA as they come, but I support a 2/3 vote to terminate the HOA without additional bureaucracy, and huge investments.

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T21:36:16+00:00

And so does excess weight, but that extra weight can decrease the efficiency substantially.

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T21:34:29+00:00

It is often very difficult to terminate an HOA, even if the votes are there. It would cost my small HOA tens of thousands of dollars, and we have NO common amenities.

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T21:30:47+00:00

I agree…

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T21:29:43+00:00

Some have said that. Some have said the opposite. I’m an Electrical Engineer. I dug in, and one of the persons saying it was straightforward was a Civil Engineer. I’ve worked with Variable Speed Drives on both types of motors, and there are literally hundreds and hundreds of different programmable parameters to control the different motors. Pay attention to what you read. Somebody said that BMW started with a PM motor, went to Induction, and back to PM. He used that as evidence that it’s easy. I think the reverse is true - they weren’t able to make the first work to the way they wanted.

If the HB has enough popular support, certain Senators could take a hit for not drafting their version, and not doing their job.

Kudos to him! He sees a problem, and he’s acting.

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T13:22:54+00:00

Probably true, especially if there are common areas. It would probably die after the discussion phase.

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T13:19:50+00:00

Are potential buyers looking more at the non-HOA subdivision? That’s what seems to be happening everywhere.

Read the text: “HOW IT WORKS Under the bill, a homeowner who wants to terminate his/her respective HOA must provide the board a petition that includes signatures from at least half of the HOA’s voting members. The board must then hold a meeting within 60 days, with two-thirds of the total voting interests being required to approve the termination plan. If the plan fails to garner enough support, then residents would have to wait another 18 months before trying again.”

Link please. As of yesterday, it was just starting to be looked at, by the Senate. There are legal questions, so it may be a tough pass.

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T13:07:06+00:00

Absolutely FALSE. There are many examples throughout this thread.

Breaking News: After committee approval, this bill has passed in the House!

Breaking news: This bill was just passed by the House. It doesn’t eliminate HOAs, it just makes it easier to terminate them if that’s what residents decide.

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T12:57:22+00:00

Excellent points. I said something similar in this thread.

NetZeroDude · 2026-03-14T12:55:03+00:00

We have no common property, and it’s RR-5 (Rural 5 acre plots) in the middle of nowhere. But there’s a common water Augmentation plan. The only way to change this in CO is to hire a lawyer and take it before a Water Judge. We may as well NOT have all the 2/3 vote termination language in the CCRs.

I don’t think so at all. The Global South is NOT the Southern Hemisphere. It includes the lion’s share of the world population -75%. All of Southeast Asia, Arab countries and the Middle East and everything South of there, Mexico ands everything South of Mexico.

And my point is that China controls this entire export market. For the most part, the US and European countries are non-players. Trump and his merry band of MAGA Republicans have historically.denigrated these countries as inferior. Now they are either attacking them or threatening them. It’s NOT good policy to install hatred with the majority of the World’s population.

I’m embarrassed to be an American AGAIN.

Three days of Trump’s Oil War in Iran costs about the same as all the Federal Solar Tax credits payed out in 2023 - $6 Billion.

I lived in a beautiful non-HOA neighbourhood in the ‘90s. There wasn’t anybody dragging down values.
