The issue that many places are having is with pipes and lines that run though people's property. How is fair that the neighbors on both sides of you can have a playground and/or a pool but you can't because you have your neighbors sewage or gas line under your backyard(Which does happen). Some people have even been forced to allow the city/town to tear up their backyard after their neighbor had a sewage back-up.
@@brianhaflin9799 Life's not fair. How is it fair that people use their own hard earned money to put up a playset for their sick child and then someone orders it to be made a playset for all? It's no different than people being able to afford something lavish that others can't. As far as your sewage comparison it is completely different. Right of way for a sewage repair is not even close to the same thing as "They have something I don't"
So the problem with the trees is that a kid might run through them and into the road? Put a fence behind the trees boom problem solved. I'd like to watch the HOA make another excuse
@@priceyt6839 random kids shouldn’t be on their property to begin with. unless all they want is to make the playground public and they can’t do that with the natural plant fence hiding it 🤣🤣. fucking pricks
They have the audacity to suggest turning HER playground into a community playground after ALL the grief and stress they caused?! I would not handle this situation well.
Someone miscommunicated there. By law you can't have a community playground on private property. Unless the city itself is planning on buying their house.
I just can’t believe anyone would be so dumb as to ask you to turn your private yard into a public park. Like for real? Besides that looked like a nice community, I’m sure there’s an actual public park somewhere close they can take their kids to without taking over their neighbor’s yard.
Exactly. They also help the neighborhood not to look like a sterile, concrete jungle. I highly doubt the neighbors ever complained about the trees. It's more likely their neighbors will follow suit than complain. The HOA is just using anonymous neighbors as leverage for control.

@Danny DNA please, you must be on the board. HOAs are run by fraudsters who rip you off your money. Just check how many times HOAs have gotten in trouble over stealing money, threats, and extortion of money even from people that are not even in their HOA. Clamping/booting residents cars parked in their own driveways and all sorts. And they never have money to fix the things the residents actually pay the money for. Always claiming they have no resources and near every time have to be taken to court to be made to perform their duties. I can keep going. HOAs are filled with Kens and Karens who impose their own will on everyone else. In this situation the trees apparently were too tall. Seriously. Only a creep would object to that because he/she couldn’t see in those people’s windows.

I've dealt with similar but it was over me being allowed to Grill and have a Campfire but the neighboring apartments can't because well it's apartments and isn't allowed or safe. I live on a totally separate property that's privately owned. To make matters worse I use to be a firefighter so the apartments think I'm getting special treatment when in reality they have no right to tell me what goes on my property as long as I'm not breaking any local laws or ordinances. People just want to complain I believe is the reason for it, they use to call the Police most everytime I built fire or use the smoker but once they got told that they'd be charged with abusing 911 line they quit.

If its on her families property then her family decides. And her familiy SHOULD decide its hers,not community's. As for the trees I thought they looked nice. If their isn't anything in the HOA rules concerning trees or shrubbery the family should win. Although moving out of and away from the whole HOA thing if possible might be the best idea.
It is nice when HOAs don't let people have sheds and swingsets. They look nice at first, but then people do not get rid of them when the kids get older and they look trashy.
It’s their own yard too, besides the playground set. It’d be pretty inconvenient to have other people hanging out in your backyard all the time whenever without any notice. I’d be like, I don’t live on a park, c’mon people. Surely there’s a park somewhere close by. You don’t turn someone’s private yard into a public park.
Not to mention liability issues. If someone else's child were to play on that and get hurt, the family could be sued. There's evil and then there's HOA's.
Or you no the HOA takes it over makes it a community play ground then ups your dues…. Like fuck me these people need to be drug out into the street and publicly hung to be made examples of

Right? If they want a community playground on their property then they should pay the family a few every time they use it for upkeep and safety. The HOA shouldn’t even get the playground in the first place it’s not theirs
Exactly, I'll be damned If little Billy from down the street who doesn't wash his hands plays on that little girls playground especially since she's probably immunocompromised
Why does the HOA even think about turning a privately owned play-set into a "community space?" The family didn't suggest it and the HOA had nothing to do with purchasing it. Also, those tress are beautiful and are a heck of a lot better to look at than some boring fence.
Cause the HOA are nothing more & nothing less than a bunch of entitled Karens who'll quite literally just complain over the smallest of things and should honestly just be declared illegal.
Why the fuck do you even have a HOA in America. The closest we have to that in britain is the parish council and the most they can do is ask you politely. From the views of a foreigner the HOA literally goes against the foundations that America was built upon and there isnt even a just reason for it. Your country should do itself a favour and abolish it
@@richardschlange9629 in a lot of places you can't even plant flowers in your yard or have bird feeders. They want you to use their invasive lawn grass and liters of pesticides and weed killers.

The residents scream like banshees as if a demon found them and proceed to throw things at the poor animals. They act even worse when an insect finds a way in, especially the ones that aren't as well-known as butterflies. It's depressing as hell how afraid Americans are of wildlife because animals are basically banned from these areas so they have no experience or knowledge of them.
We lived in a small one once, where dues collected went things such as landscapers who mowed and trimmed everyone's yard, kept trees tidy, and other such niceties, and any left over funds was saved in an account and was used when a family had an emergency. Just before we moved the HOA was able to give a family whose kid was diagnosed with cancer something like 25k to help with expenses from the left over money. Ours was the exception to the rule, and nobody was a nazi. It was less a HOA and more a community fund. I would never move into a modern HOA and if one formed around me I would sue soooo damn hard.

You have not heard both sides of the story. I manage hoas for a living. That play set looks like it’s on common property. I think they are trying to get around the rules. Now, the rules might be ridiculous which is why I don’t live in an HOA, I just manage them.

Where did say anywhere in the news story to make the play set into a community play set? The HOA is fine with the play set; they're not fine with the tall bushes.
@@livylu6287 is there ANY HOA that isn´t run by a bunch of Karens? Who else would be interested in a job that is controlling other´s personal property?
I see an absence of logic. First, if the shrubs are a hazard to children who may run out from between them , as the trees are fully on private property, then those children are trespassing on that person's property. So that argument is defeated. Here's what I think.....Two scenarios. One involves the view in the photos. The neighborhood is an open design. All properties are unencumbered by trees, fences,( even though with approval are permitted) and certain people would prefer everyone adhere to their idea of a 'good look'...People who live in these neighborhoods are attached to the concept of uniformity. My second idea is that these interloping busy bodies just don't like the existence of the shrubs because the shrubs go around the prohibition on privacy fences. For some unknown reason, and this is not uncommon, certain people become upset when a neighbor has a fence installed. This also projects to shrubbery or trees that provide a barrier/privacy...

It sounds more like they have a nice set up in a big yard and want the trees removed so that they can turn it into the HOA park with a lot of access. The family would lose their property that they paid for. Lose the play set they paid for. Yet hold all the responsibility in maintaining it and the yard that they will still have to pay tax on. Those trees are a bit big but as the neighborhood trees grow they will Fit in. The problem is it look to be a new subdivision with small trees. The good news is, with those trees you can top them without killing them. They will also fill out making a nice natural fence. They just have to agree on the height. No one has 4ft. Fence. A dog can jump a 4 ft. fence. 6 feet is the normal height for a privacy fence. They should be allowed 6ft. Hedge. It also seems to me that someone on the HOA likes to be able to look into other yards. See what the Jones’s are doing. Then gossip about it later. They need the fences to be low or how else will they be able to spy on them for that gossip?

It depends on the state. My state put in a law a few years ago any new developments must have an HOA. If you're building and building individually it's obviously not applicable, but if you're trying to live in a neighborhood especially a newer one that may be in good school zones you may be stuck.

Did some digging. Turns out the lot with the playset doesn't appear to belong to the family, so the family got permission from the HOA to build the playset there and stated it was open to the community. All was well until new HOA board members rescinded that agreement and threatened legal action about the playset AND the trees.

@Danny DNA please, you must be on the board. HOAs are run by fraudsters who rip you off your money. Just check how many times HOAs have gotten in trouble over stealing money, threats, and extortion of money even from people that are not even in their HOA. Clamping/booting residents cars parked in their own driveways and all sorts. And they never have money to fix the things the residents actually pay the money for. Always claiming they have no resources and near every time have to be taken to court to be made to perform their duties. I can keep going. HOAs are filled with Kens and Karens who impose their own will on everyone else. In this situation the trees apparently were too tall. Seriously. Only a creep would object to that because he/she couldn’t see in those people’s windows.
imagine caring about what your neighbor's house looks like or what they put in their yard..
The only time I think it matters is if the house is literally a hazard or like hoarders house
But this a beautiful fucking suburban home

@@brianhaflin9799 Sounds like maybe they should have bought enough property or build a smaller house. I've dealt with similar but it was over me being allowed to Grill and have a Campfire but the neighboring apartments can't because well it's apartments and isn't allowed or safe. I live on a totally separate property that's privately owned. To make matters worse I use to be a firefighter so the apartments think I'm getting special treatment when in reality they have no right to tell me what goes on my property as long as I'm not breaking any local laws or ordinances. People just want to complain I believe is the reason for it, they use to call the Police most everytime I built fire or use the smoker but once they got told that they'd be charged with abusing 911 line they quit. Imagine calling 911 and saying you need police because your neighbor has a fire and your not allowed one?? That it's not even on the same property, it was like being in the Twilight Zone when it first started.

New developments put in a community playground on public property, not on private property. Huge difference
If its on her families property then her family decides. And her familiy SHOULD decide its hers,not community's. As for the trees I thought they looked nice. If their isn't anything in the HOA rules concerning trees or shrubbery the family should win. Although moving out of and away from the whole HOA thing if possible might be the best idea.
It is nice when HOAs don't let people have sheds and swingsets. They look nice at first, but then people do not get rid of them when the kids get older and they look trashy.
The OWNER is the one who wants to make this a community playground, not the HOA
the AUDACITY they must have to want it to be a "community" playground....
It’s their own yard too, besides the playground set. It’d be pretty inconvenient to have other people hanging out in your backyard all the time whenever without any notice.

@Mike Rotch nice to see other people see children equally and are not afraid to swear them off
Why does the HOA even think about turning a privately owned play-set into a "community space?" The family didn't suggest it and the HOA had nothing to do with purchasing it. Also, those tress are beautiful and are a heck of a lot better to look at than some boring fence.
Cause the HOA are nothing more & nothing less than a bunch of entitled Karens who'll quite literally just complain over the smallest of things and should honestly just be declared illegal.
Too true
Why the fuck do you even have a HOA in America. The closest we have to that in britain is the parish council and the most they can do is ask you politely. From the views of a foreigner the HOA literally goes against the foundations that America was built upon and there isnt even a just reason for it.

We lived in a small one once, where dues collected went things such as landscapers who mowed and trimmed everyone's yard, kept trees tidy, and other such niceties, and any left over funds was saved in an account and was used when a family had an emergency. Just before we moved the HOA was able to give a family whose kid was diagnosed with cancer something like 25k to help with expenses from the left over money. Ours was the exception to the rule, and nobody was a nazi. It was less a HOA and more a community fund. I would never move into a modern HOA and if one formed around me I would sue soooo damn hard.

Sounds like the home owners association is ran by a bunch of Karen’s.
@@livylu6287 is there ANY HOA that isn´t run by a bunch of Karens? Who else would be interested in a job that is controlling other´s personal property?
I see an absence of logic. First, if the shrubs are a hazard to children who may run out from between them , as the trees are fully on private property, then those children are trespassing on that person's property. So that argument is defeated.
Here's what I think.....Two scenarios. One involves the view in the photos. The neighborhood is an open design. All properties are unencumbered by trees, fences,( even though with approval are permitted) and certain people would prefer everyone adhere to their idea of a 'good look'...People who live in these neighborhoods are attached to the concept of uniformity.
My second idea is that these interloping busy bodies just don't like the existence of the shrubs because the shrubs go around the prohibition on privacy fences.
For some unknown reason, and this is not uncommon, certain people become upset when a neighbor has a fence installed. This also projects to shrubbery or trees that provide a barrier/privacy...
Wear a mask..........-all about control
Lol 😂
"Community Playground"? On private property? Sounds like the HOA just keeps changing their stories and are reaching for straws here.
Remember kids: never let yourself end up signing a contract with an HOA

It sounds more like they have a nice set up in a big yard and want the trees removed so that they can turn it into the HOA park with a lot of access.
The family would lose their property that they paid for. Lose the play set they paid for. Yet hold all the responsibility in maintaining it and the yard that they will still have to pay tax on.
Those trees are a bit big but as the neighborhood trees grow they will Fit in.
The problem is it look to be a new subdivision with small trees.
The good news is, with those trees you can top them without killing them. They will also fill out making a nice natural fence.
They just have to agree on the height.
No one has 4ft. Fence. A dog can jump a 4 ft. fence. 6 feet is the normal height for a privacy fence. They should be allowed 6ft. Hedge.
It also seems to me that someone on the HOA likes to be able to look into other yards. See what the Jones’s are doing. Then gossip about it later. They need the fences to be low or how else will they be able to spy on them for that gossip?

"The trees are a safety concern as children may run out from behind them "..... can't that happen with a 6 ft fence ? 🤷♂️
HOA probably doesn't allow fences either because they are considered an eyesore and aren't uniform from house to house.
I wouldn't have a playset like that without a fence though, for the reason the mom said - what if some kid comes over uninvited and gets injured? When I was a kid that wouldn't be an issue but today you are almost certainly going to get sued over that.
Wait til they won't let you let your kids play outside cuz a kid might run out from behind another kid... Lmao. "He who sacrifices liberty for safety deserves neither."
Take the trees out and kids could STILL run out into the street. HOA is irrational.
@@ericdaniel323 0:42 they detail the accepted fence heights quoted from the HOA. Did you even watch the video or is listening comprehension your issue? I have no idea why I think your reading comprehension to read this would be better than your listening that you obviously failed at.
@@waynewayne9693 did someone piss in your cheerios this morning?
Bassicly: Remove your trees let our kids play on your private owend swingset cause our kids need to play there
This is why I could never get a house I’m with an HOA. Never know what people will decide to complain about
HOA: "There are height limits on the fences you can have"
Also HOA: A child can suddenly run into the street from behind the trees.
Sorry HOA, if you can freely walk/run through it, it is not a fence and not subject to fence height limits.
Also trying to bully a family and a sick little girl into turning their property into a community playset... Shame on you!!
yeah, a community play set, and when a kid gets hurt the owners are liable not the HOA.
They're worried kids will run thorugh the hedge onto the road because we all remember playing Run Through the Hedge when we were kids. The scrapes, bruises, and cedar stains were just part of the fun.
"You paid for this?"
"I paid for this."
"......We paid for this."
Community play place? Really? They paid for it on their property...
I know right
HOA: we have a resolution for "our" complaint....give us the thing we complained about. 🥴
They are not a Fence
It makes a barrier for their child.
Oh Hell No its not a Community Playset.
They Paid or maybe make a wish $$$$$
Imagine living in a place where an association can decide what’s on your property.
That’s the equivalent of saying that someone who just happens to own a pool is obligated to let randos invade the privacy in your own property and feel free to use YOUR pool at anytime they like, and as well dictate what you can and can’t have in your own yard even though they have no correlation with it whatsoever
Report this to the Tree-Huggers.
They’ll be on the HOA’s waiting room making a ruckus!
Why stop at the Waiting Room? Point them in the direction of the Board Members' houses.
I'd pretty soon drop any and every complaint I had after getting it in the ear from the Spouse about "having to force a path through yet ANOTHER group protesting about ANOTHER one of your stupid board's decisions!"!
@@flashstudiosguy It is not always the board members. Some regular members are super petty and the board just gets tired of arguing with them.
It baffles me why people live in HOAs isnt it the point when you have money to do whatever you want
No the point is everyone agrees to keep the place looking a certain way so the five broken ass cars leaking oil all over the street/couch in the driveway crowd doesn’t move in and tank property values. Sometimes they go too far though.
It depends on the state. My state put in a law a few years ago any new developments must have an HOA. If you're building and building individually it's obviously not applicable, but if you're trying to live in a neighborhood especially a newer one that may be in good school zones you may be stuck.
the whole concept is based on discrimination and borderline racism
@@Wanderlust073 So any neighborhood without an HOA is a dump? Lol you're ridiculous. The vast majority of American neighborhoods do not have HOA's, and they're still nice neighborhoods. The kind of people you're describing live in neighborhoods where all their neighbor's homes look the same way. You don't have to have an HOA to live in a nice neighborhood, just don't buy property in a poor one. I own 105 acres of beautiful woodland, and my home and all my neighbor's homes are well kept, without anyone telling us to keep them that way
@@Wanderlust073 I have no HOA, but my local municipality has ordinances that forbid exactly what you've described. You don't need a HOA to prevent blight, and this vid is an example where a HOA is preventing quiet enjoyment of their property by this family.
This poor woman is so calm and gracious!
Anything on private property: *existing*
The HOA: hippity hopitty it’s everybody’s property
@@ShootBigBucks Yeah but *private property* lol.
don't take offense to that
@@ShootBigBucks technically the members of the HoA will get shot if they ever try to dictate to me what i can and can not do with my property 😂
Rule zero: Thou shalt not buy a house in an HOA.
Rule 1: If you break rule zero, you get what you deserve.
Yessss
@Kameron Minyard Your municipality has no code enforcement?
-
Hmm. Maybe you live in rural New Hampshire, where it seems like the requirement for residency is at least one non-functioning car in the front yard.
@Kameron Minyard there is a limit even without an HOA. But causing a fuss over someones trees/fence and childs play structure is just anal and Unessacary. Forcing the play structure to be a community thing is BS as well. They didnt help pay for it they dont decide who uses it. But as a guy who works on cars in my driveway. And has 1 or 2 broken in the yard. My front yard is usually kept clean and tidy. With the acception of my son parking in the grass. Because we have no where else for him to park. (We didnt think about him driving when we bought the house) I would be pissed if someone had everything you say your neighbor has too. I bitch about my neighbors dogs barking. People say "thats what dogs do" I understand and accept thats what dogs do. But when they never get let inside, pace the yard at 3 am barking at litterally nothing. Bark at you like they want to eat you EVERY TIME you step into your own yard for 3 years. And even bark if they hear another dog bark 10 houses away. There has to be a cut off somewhere even without an HOA But Ill be dammed if someone tells me my kid cant park in the yard I paid for.
@Kameron Minyard In most cases you can file a written complaint, pics help, with the code dept for your area. Most have laws, not rules, to address those issues. Many HOAs become dictatorships and have nothing better to do than raise issues over petty BS.
Hard part is more and more neighborhoods are now HOAs and many neighborhoods that weren’t...are turning into it.
My friend moved into a house, specifically bc it didn’t have an HOA..6m later they turned into an HOA..she regretted moving.
I need to know updates and how she's doing after her transplant!
Did some digging. Turns out the lot with the playset doesn't appear to belong to the family, so the family got permission from the HOA to build the playset there and stated it was open to the community. All was well until new HOA board members rescinded that agreement and threatened legal action about the playset AND the trees. I can't find any resolution or follow up to the matter, but Google Maps shows it's still in place. Also, the poor girl originally got sick at the age of 3 from e-coli. Wow, that sucks.
Thank you, I figured there was more to the story.
Why is this recommended to everyone 2 years later? 😂
I’ve seen you comment before, but going for the likes with the recommended comment isn’t too cool
@@asa.8691 wasn't going for coolness, thanks for your input though
Yep
@@asa.8691 comment likes mean absolutely nothing. i don’t get why you had the urge to say that.
@@sillystingray524 not gonna argue with you but I did it just cuz most comments like this are for likes whether this admit it or not, and I just gave him my thoughts
Note to all: Dont live in a HOA neighborhood.
You know you’re well protected when a biker gang has your back 😂
We hate your trees in your yard, you can't have them. But also let's take that thing you built privately for your daughter and make it to a public playground.
These people are worried about the “harmony of appearance “ but not if their neighbors hate them
I saw trees all over that neighborhood, including the HOA presidents yard.
people with brains: Ashlin’s playground
Community: (insert communist bugs bunny) our playground
Did they just say that they would like to turn their property into a “Community Play set” tf??????
"This is the first time I've heard about this issue with our trees"
Me: Hey,has anyone else noticed that the ink on this rule is still fresh...and smells of bullshit..?
If a “4ft fence” was put around the trees their argument would be invalid
"We don't like your trees, so we're gonna have to commandeer your playground..." 🤔
The biker gang coming to talk to the little girl was so heartwarming!
Any update on the story? How was it resolved? Did the HOA kick rocks?
HOA needs to tell the trees they're only allowed to grow to a specific height.
I believe the rarest thing in the universe is a positive story about a homeowner's association.
They probably have a problem with the American flags in the lawn, not the trees or playground
