I lived in a HOA gated community house years ago and had to repair the roof due to hail damage…the neighbors reported me because the new shingles were darker shade than everyone else’s 🤦🏻♀️ I had to show my roofing paperwork that it was the same color as every other house the only reason it looked darker was because it was brand new and didn’t have years of sunlight hitting them yet fading the darkness
You can't fix ignorant people.
Right!!! Some people just need to mind their business…honestly if they would have never reported out my roof was darker I would have never even noticed
Neighbor: YOUR roof bothers ME no end.
Well that's your fault you should have made absolutely sure the color matched regardless. And if the sun would make it fade then we expect you to continually change it.
Okay, so you showed that shingles are the same. Problem solved. Everyone's house that's around you keeps its resell value.
Best reason never to build or buy in a neighborhood like this.
Yeah for anybody who lives here in the area Riverton area is where all the snob is go to live but their homes and properties are managed and pretty much owned by HOA.. the people just pay the bank. I'll stay in the ghetto where nobody tells us what to do😂
That was their mistake; now it’s just going to be neighborhood guerrilla warfare indefinitely.
Would you want this monstrosity right next to YOUR house whether or not it was in this type of "neighborhood" blocking your view of the sky and looking down on your naked body while you sunbathe as it is slathered with coconut body butter in your backyard? Really?
@@twasbrillig33 if he paid for it it's nobodys business but his go make more UFO videos lame 😂
@@McFlyy91 if he wanted to build a ridiculously ugly garage to store all of his stupid toys, he should have bought a piece of land that's not within a planned suburban community. HOAs exist for a reason: to ensure property values go up, not down. I would never want to buy a house next door or even within close proximity to this hideously ugly concrete box. He's negatively impacting the resale value of those homes in that neighborhood.
The HOA is only upset that they failed to word their agreements in a way that would prevent this.
Not thinking that's the case. Pretty sure the whole "doesn't fit the neighborhood" part is all they have to argue and that's a no-brainer win for them.
@@TruthFiction
Then that wording had better be in the covenant by-laws or whatever they're called. Otherwise it's no win at all if the homeowners decide to legally challenge it.
@@Terrathrax Obviously they are, since the homeowner is relying on the "why can't I do whatever I want" court of public opinion defense.
THESE PPL, STAY UPSET, FOR ANY AND EVERYTHING 😤
110%!!!!
Over a dozen years ago, I worked in a cubicle adjacent to a woman in her 40s. She spent a hell of a lot of company time either calling up her teen son to micromanage his afterschool activities or making calls where she was clearly plotting with other HOA board members to persecute residents who were poorer, had trouble keeping up their properties due to age or disability, etc. These entities definitely seem to attract nit-picky control freaks & bullies.
It also sounds like a nifty way to steel poorer people’s houses from under them
We had one living across the street from us . We lived on a wooded hill and had a strip at the bottom of the hill facing her with grass. We couldn't see it from our house so who cared. She would always be complaining to us about cutting the little grass that was there. She would be using the weed whacker an edge trimmer almost every day. She would always be bragging about all the money she would always make when she sold her homes. After we moved we found out she threw her husband into an old age and built a brand new home along the Gulf coast in Alabama. A few years hurricane Katrina came and blew her new house away.
@@TheBold1994 poorer people usually dont take pride in where they live. They dont care for things even if they own it.
@@TheBold1994It's always about the money
Have you ever had to choose between gas for your lawnmower and buying your dinner for the night? Have you ever had to choose between renting a pressure washer to pressure wash your house or to put gas in your car to get to work? I'm glad you clearly haven't but its not fun and its embarrassing. Maybe you shouldn't judge before you consider what poorer ppl might have to deal with.
These same people crying FOR the homeowners association are the same people that will cry foul when they can’t build a fence or plant a tree or remove a bush or their car gets towed…
It's almost impossible to buy a newer house without an HOA in some areas. They're usually cheaper too
Well it's like anything that becomes egregious. There has to be a medium.
Thays why I say fuck what they think or use they think they deserve worse.
@@askor2000 Cheaper because you gave up your private property rights when you move into a communist community. That makes my home all the more appealing to buy - acres around me. There's HOA's around and there's always people complaining. Oh and they can raise HOA dues on you and you have no say.
@jayesouthworth great for you but that isn't always an affordable option for everyone. And owning something is better than renting and paying a landlord's mortgage.
Someone literally called the news for this? Can you imagine what a nightmare these neighbors must be for a waiter at Olive Garden?
Would you want that over-sized POS next door to you? I assume you don't own property.
@@scherzva If having that next door is your biggest complaint in life, you got it gooooooooooooood
@@scherzvaHow do you know if it’s a piece of shit? Looks pretty solid and will probably serve the purpose it’s built for.
Imagine paying a 50 yr mortgage and now you have to look at THAT for the rest of your life.
If you are bringing down the property value of the people living next to you, then you are probably the transgressor.
@@scherzva😂
HOA's need to be outlawed.
Absolutely!!!
?? they don't have an HOA ... hence this problem. HOA's can be good and bad.
Does she have a tent on?
Do they even have an HOA?
@@LongJourneys If you WANT to control what your neighbors do on their property, HOAs are for YOU. These neighbors bitching should MOVE to a neighborhood with an HOA. (personally, I hate HOAs .. as I now have to move just to own a trailer & park it at MY home).
I sold my townhouse in a community with a homeowner's association. I'll never buy anything in a homeowner's association again. Nothing but trouble. Because of them I decided to sell; most of my income going into my home, and I was not enjoying it. I became head of the architectural control committee to keep an eye on them, and they lied to me; taking legal action against my neighbors without even telling me. So glad I've retired into a home with no lying, nagging, backbiting assholes with a say over how I paint, maintain, or mow my grass.
100%
I'm glad you got free!
Some of my adult kids still live with me. When my husband died, my step-kids bought a house for me so they could sell the old place.
I only truly asked: 1) that it was in NO HOA 2) and located outside of city limits.
If I want to raise chickens, by golly, I will 😂
I love the new place. We've been here since 2020 and my only complaint is that I have no idea what I'm doing. My husband (of 20 years) took care of all this stuff like maintenance and taxes! But I'm getting there.
@@awitness4jehovah God bless you. I’m so sorry for your loss.
there are alot of reasons not to live in a HOA. this is just one of them
good luck w the neighbors ^_^
Unless you are one of his neighbors having this eyesore block your view, then you're thinking what a good idea an HOA is.
A legit HOA wouldn't allow for a warehouse to be built in someone's backyard.
@@scherzvaas long as it was legally done , there should be no problem. It does look to commercial BUT , It is not finished. The exterior will have a stone finish. Plus , there will always be some negative people in any large group .
@@rayRay-pw6gz again, you are missing the point; it is scaled the wrong size for the neighborhood, which is the problem.
Assuming you own a home, would you want something like that next to you? I wouldn't. It looks like an industrial park, even with fake stone applied to the walls.
This is why we chose a home not in an HOA
I think the only way I’d buy in a neighborhood with an hoa is if I could get it at an extreme discount. Still I wouldn’t dare live there, I’d flip it and get out ASAP.
I hate HOA neighborhoods too but, on the flipside, if you don't live in an HOA managed neighborhood, some A-HAT might build a McMansion right next to your house and block your view of the mountains. It's happening all over the place.
They got the needed permits this is just neighbors whining that they can't do anything about it.
@Donjuanthecoamicgenius-sx3ffOMG EVERYONE LOOK HE'S BREAKING THE RULES 😂🙄
Neighborhoods without HOAs are always more ghetto and have lower class people. Sorry not sorry this is facts
This is why I built my house on 12 acres so I don’t have to worry about this foolishness
And if they don't have 12 acres they must not have rights to build what they want or utilize the property they own for their intended usage??????
They can do what is within their rights as I can… but that doesn’t diminish the arguments of their neighbors. It is intruding on their privacy. The building is so high almost liens tower and can peep and overlook the entire community.
I understand both sides of the argument and simply stating this is why is decided to move out in the woods where I can do what I want and not bother anyone and not be bothered myself.
Have a great day man
@@Youhaverights6 Careful you don't burst your knees coming down from that giant leap. He never said anything like that.
Yup! Get away from HOAs and people! Move to a big piece of land and build your dream whatever! That’s what a good neighbor would do!
Sell your 12 acres and buy the homes surrounding the monster garage and any home that can’t see sky the same as before with no pitch at pre garage prices.
Nice garage! He read the HOA rules, figured out the max that he could do, got the permits and then did it. I would never live anywhere with an HOA. But then again, I cannot even see my neighbors so.....
The one thing you can’t control in life is how your neighbors behave.
Sadly, that is true.
You've never lived in an HOA have you?
Yes. You. Can. They control everything.
@@SilentThundersnow I lived in a HOA in Houston for 20 years.
ho yes you can. but if you do mostly someone ends up moving, in jail or dead. :)
You can't control them, but I've found security cameras really influence their behavior long-term 😂
On the one hand, the neighbors can go fluck themselves. On the other hand, WHY WOULD ANY SANE HUMAN BEING ON EARTH want to live in a Karen-infested HOA hellhole like this?! Hard for me to feel any sympathy at all for this family when it was THEIR CHOICE to live in a hellhole like this.
I agree 100%
So how exactly would they know the type of neighbors that they would have?
@@JJM_PNW it is an HOA, compliance and conformity is their middle name. Even completed and prettied up, this thing will stand out as different. HOAs HATE different. This family is in for long legal battles hostility, and harassment.
Seems the Karen's trigger easily. Don't even mention the Felicias. They're worse than Karen. In my neighborhood I have Karen's and Felicias. When you don't go by their standards they get triggered easily. One threw a ten cent fish at me, no idea why. The things they were saying made absolutely zero sense except to them. They're must have gotten out of a psych ward or silent hill. They think they make sense but in reality they're ending up on RUclips everyone saying stay away from the Karen's the mental health issues everyone is having they're talking about even in the government is talking about it. They think they're the only ones here and they are not.
It’s in compliance with the HOA so how were they to kno their neighbors would have a problem when they followed all the rules
Can’t imagine hating my life so much, that I have to try to ruin others
Bro imagine paying a million dollars for a house and now it's in the shade because of someone's 25ft tall Christmas storage
imagine, trying to complain about being in the shade.
I bet you feel differently if went up next to you!
@@vcash1112I wouldn't mind it being next to me. Live and let live.
@RavenMobile I don't think anyone is arguing that there are certain types of neighborhoods where you are completely allowed to do that kind of thing. But in an HOA neighborhood this is completely out of place. I think they make a good point on the video the neighbors shouldn't be to blame since they went through the proper channels but the city rather should be to blame for allowing it in such a cohesive, hoa neighborhood. It just looks seriously out of place, you would have to be completely delusional not to agree.
I'll agree it stands out next to the other residential structures. But I'll be interested to see how it looks when completed. My guess is that while it's a bit tall, it will likely look fine with the right exterior treatments and roof.
That's what I was thinking, I don't care for the way it looks now, I find, in the long run If it was me I would just get used you it.
....it’s not finished...
I just did a whole investigation and found the building on maps and it was updated 6 months ago, looks exactly the same 😂
Neighbors are such a pain. That will be a great garage. I'm jealous.
Garage being exactly the problem. It's one massive garage surrounded by HOUSES.
@@TruthFictionits a garage behind a massive house
@@Tbanthrax No, it's literally the entire ground floor of the house.
@@TruthFiction and great use of space. NIMBYs just can't stand anyone being better than them so they put everything down to level the field.
@@TruthFictionAnd it meets all the rules and regulations that it's suppose to so they/you can complain all you want
It's not even done and the neighbors are complaining. That's just ridiculous. Obviously it's going to look a bit rough while it's being built and the homeowners even said the outside will match the neighborhood when it's done. Just another reason never to live in an HOA. Such tyrants.
You wouldn't want it next to your house.
It's ugly. It's never going look nice. It will always look like an industrial building. This is why some people live in HOA communities. Yeah, they suck, but people choose them for a reason. I wouldn't want that next to my home. I bet you wouldn't either. It COULD have been built to fit in with neighbourhood, not with tilt up concrete walls, unless they have the money to faux brick/stone the walls. Even then - ew.
Right! It’s not even done yet and will have additional work done to the exterior. Totally Utah though, the people there care about everything in such a deep manner.
Born and raised, lived all over the state :) it’s beautiful but I wouldn’t recommend going for the long term lol.
@@gusmonster59you literally didn’t even watch the video. They said the exterior is going to match the other homes
Honestly HOA is often trying to buy up land in every beautiful place and I honestly hate that. My family wanted to live by a lake until we realized that annoying ass HOA bought all the land around the lake so we wouldn’t be able to live by the lake without dealing with HOA or the monthly payment. It’s honestly infuriating and I’ve been thinking that we need to really bring an end to HOA honestly. I say that because at this point it’s hard to find land by any beautiful place that isn’t owned by HOA especially in CA. I’m getting fed up with this ridiculous ass HOA bs being almost everywhere. People who care about what their neighbors houses look like are honestly control freaks. I feel bad for the men who are married to Karens honestly. I only brought up Karen’s because most of the time HOA mostly only bothers the residents when a Karen decides to complain and decides to be a petty ass control freak.
They have a permit... went through the proper channels, and are within all regulations. Don't like it? get the regs changed, not news worthy. People are ridiculous, its not like you have a view there anyway lady.
Apparently they did not go through the homeowner association though. That is something completely separate from the city. Most homeowner associations require approval from the association to add a structure.
@@MA-mh1vs or what?
@@ieattofu68 If the neighborhood covenants state approval from the association is needed prior to building two things can happen. Best case they approve it but fine him for the violation. Worst case they don't approve it and take him to court to sue to have it demolished or fine him for every day he is out of compliance (which can be expensive), place a lien on the property if he does not pay those fines, then auction his property to pay what's owed to the homeowner association.
That is why I don't live in an HOA because of all the legally binding rules they impose on homeowners. People literally can lose their houses over HOA fines.
i didn’t know it was HOA. No approval? i’m shocked he was that negligent.
@@cmm3338 Yeah I don't of an HOA that doesn't require association approval to build anything. I have seen news coverage about people failing to get HOA approval for landscaping changes and it becoming a nightmare. They couldn't even build a flower bed without approval!
The takeaway: don't live in an HOA where you have petty and nasty neighbors 👍😊
Trust me those petty and nasty neighbors are everywhere they'll talk to you and say their your friend while they turn you in
@purpurahaze9179 personally I would never live in a HOA, period. So I won't have to worry about that shit.
@@chrisd946 I don't live in one either but I know about those kind of neighbors. They don't like you for whatever reason. Their only goal in life is to get to move away even when you have lived there long than them enough of my rant 😮💨
Sadly most new homes are in HOAs. Fortunately, young people like me will never own these homes anyway.
You’d seriously enjoy having a parking garage next door? I mean to each their own
Went up in 1 night? On a holiday?! Sheeeet gimme dat business number! 😂😂😂
Looks like a pre-fab concrete building.
This was made with ICF, Insulated Concrete forms. When it gets put together, it looks like giant styrofoam Lego pieces. They throw them together really fast, then pour concrete into the forms. The styrofoam is removed after the concrete dries. It's a very fast method of construction, resistant to natural disasters and super efficient. The hardest part is bracing the walls correctly before the concrete is poured in. Really fascinating, TBH....
Sounds alot like the federal reserve, that was during Christmas break 😊
@@karabean You are wrong in so many ways. First of all they don't remove the foam from an ICF structure after the concrete is poured. It is an integral part of the finished wall assembly with plastic ties that hold it to the structural concrete core. That is exactly what makes that system so energy efficient and would make no sense to remove it. Finish cladding is then added to the exterior and sheetrock to the interior to finish out the wall. Secondly, this is absolutely NOT an ICF structure. This structure was made with structural precast concrete panels that are welded together with steel plates. They were made off-site in a factory, shipped to the site on flat bed semi trailers, and erected with a crane. Something this size would only take a day to set once all the panels arrived.
@@ourcreativebeehiveit’s called a tilt up
The sad thing is , the way these neighbors feel nowadays turns to vandalism and destruction of property because every Karen and Daren think they are entitled to destroy others property ...hope this guy has good cameras pointing in every direction
The Pedros Marias Jamaals and Shaniqwas do it to
@@Sandlin22 And so many of them are in charge of HOAs.
Exactly why I never have or ever will buy a home with an HOA. I have a problem with tyranny.
Yep, I'd never pay or even allow others to tell me what I can and can't do with my own property even if their "service" was free! I live in an unincorporated part of a county that has zero building codes or zoning laws and it's great!
Well if u want all the toys u should build a house in a non HOA area that's like the guy down the street from me buys a house with a small driveway but buys a monster truck to park it in !! Lol
@@simplekustomsbyeddiepapand1838 Obviously the truck fits or he wouldn't be able to park there so what's the problem!
That's the problem the truck doesn't fit 3500 work truck in a drive way that slops down and fit for a compact car!!! Lol my house is one of the biggest ones with a 4car drive way
This is the reason to buy a home with an HOA. I used to be against them. But this situation has made me all for it. If this is allowed to remain the families will move out and the entire neighborhood rented or deeply discounted. Why does a shed for his toys already in a 10 foot tall garage have to be 25 feet tall? The homes that lost views have lost value on their home even if someone wanted to buy in that neighborhood. I’m sure there is a shed or structure ordinance in the HOA. People pay the HOA so they know it exists. They did not approach the HOA at all. They knew they did wrong.
Leave these people alone & let them spend there money the way they want too. They got permits approved & they obviously did it the right way...
This is why I’m looking for a few acres with no neighbors to tell me what to do. She was way nicer as to what I would say to those neighbors.
She wasn't nice. This building doesn't belong in this neighborhood. It's imposing and ugly.
@@sierranyokka8435too bad. It's their property ...and blame the city. ..they said something about covenants..that's the only thing that maybe an issue ..😅
LOL, I live in the country away from people and guess what you always have a neighbour (there is always a fence somewhere and a person on the other side jealous of what you are doing) that is a pain in the arse woke person who complains about everything. I get complaints because of the way I rotate my cattle through my feed paddocks. Woke people will always interfere when someone or something doesn't suit their ideology.
@@sierranyokka8435 ITs their property. And it's still under construction. Of course, something is going to look rough while it's still being built. Thats like calling an under-construction skyscraper ugly because it doesn't look as good as the ones that are fully built. The bones of the building are going to look ugly, but the outside is going to look fantastic.
It’s ungodly. It’s too huge. No amount of paint roofing etc can make that fit into the neighborhood. The old saying about lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig. It’s hideous. The property value all around that middle finger to the entire neighborhood will suffer greatly. Who’s going to buy a house next door or close to that monstrosity. Whoever approved those plans was on the take. Needs to be fired.
Nunez ‘dream’ is a neighborhood nightmare.
I'm definitely all for "freedom" and not telling ppl what to do with things they spend their own money on. So as a neighbor, I wouldn't care, however, as the resident, if I built something like this, I'd want to be out in the country someplace 😊
That's the funny part these people with money by these properties and they feel good about it but at the end of the day they don't truly owned it. An HOA board does
Dosent matter where you would like to be, his property his choices.
If they don’t like it, they can build their own concrete structure in their backyard! Leave the man alone!
I was thinking the same thing. They have the money and obviously love the outdoors. If it was me, I’d want it on a big plot of land… without neighbors.
@@angelcelis9090 "...his property his choices" that's pretty much reinforces what the first part of my comment. Glad to see you agree👍.
It looks imposing right now because it's still in its raw form. I want to see what it looks like after it's finished.
Still gonna stick out like a sore thumb. And it's hideous. I'd be absolutely furious. How that passes code for that neighborhood is the question.
@@wendybutler1681you live in that neighborhood don’t you 🤣😩
Right it might get smaller if they put more stuff on it.
@@wendybutler1681 re: "passes code for that neighborhood"
heh. have you ever even been the sole creator of any building plans?
There's national code, state code, county code, and city code. I've never heard of neighborhood code.
But you know what? HOAs are so laughably self-important that they probably have their own conformity code. sheeit. You're probably right.
@@copic8241 how does putting more stuff on it change the fact that it has 25 foot high walls?
What I don’t understand is how they can say. They had no idea that their neighbors were so upset???
Are the neighbors too afraid to come and confront them about it or do we live in a society where everybody attacks everybody with the news networks and in the court rooms very silently ???
Yes. HOAs can be super passive aggressive. They will smile and wave but behind closed doors they are seething - digging up (metaphorical) dirt, getting legal action started, tipping off the media with their spin on the situation. The goal is to keep the offending party in the dark and then drop everything on them at once: serve them with legal documents and have reporters and city officials knocking on their door all in the same day.
ALOT of people don't talk to their neighbors anymore, let alone confront. It could get you killed or damage to your cars and property. Some rather do it silently.
Years ago i lived in an HOA community and was a board member and we all got along. Fyi, we were all under 50 so we were not nagging
sh!t turds and we did keep up the property. However the ratio to owners living there vs renters who lived there, there were more renters and we had issues with some.The majority of owners would not tell their renters about the rules. Swimming pool, Jacuzzi, Parking etc etc.
Unfortunately some of those renters ruined it so we had to start fining the owners.😮💵💵💵💵💵.
I also woke up to my tires being slashed several times.😠
Owners started to realize you cant rent your place to who ever and let them do whatever... Talking to your neighbor doesn't always work...
Anyway moved and now i have another home non HOA.
I’m pretty sure they never contacted their neighbors with their plans to decrease their property values, they said it went up in 2 days so doesn’t seem there was time for anyone to even know what was going on. This isn’t about the HOA it’s if you live in a residential neighborhood there might be the expectation that a parking garage won’t be built next to your house, you really think anyone is going to be able to sell their homes with that monstrosity next door? They are the equivalent of the neighbor shooting off shotguns all hours of the day and night because they can.
@@jojose417 They went through all the required processes to get approval. Also I find the claim that it went up in two days hard to believe.
@@JonMartinYXD Yea, this is just a wonderful lesson to not live too close to other people lol I'm in a townhouse right now but def. upgrading to a single family home at some point. I will make sure that there won't be a chance of a parking garage or EZ storage coming up right next to me
This is the reason why I will not live in any place that is governed by HOA. But I see why residents are pissed 😂.
The neighbors aren't even looking at the finished product, and as far as the building going up overnight, that's a load of crap, the owner would have needed to post permits, clear the area, pour concrete footers, and slab, and they would have needed a crane to erect the walls, I'm sorry but doesn't happen overnight 😂
The HOA cuts both ways. I've had it work in my favor several times with renters that weren't supposed to rent next door and excessive dog barking those neighbors got kicked out because everybody else was complaining.
But HOA has their place and prevents people with banged up RVs parking on the street or in the garage where the spiders take over.
I'm 50/50 with HOAs. They did complain that I didn't park my Ford F-250 truck in the garage and when I explained to them the garage is 19 ft and my truck is 21 ft it's impossible to put it in my garage.
They were going to come out and measure my garage and my truck and I told him you're not going to do that. You have the floor plans of the garage and you can look up the length of my truck on the internet.
Especially when you look at my truck it won't even fit height wise.
They sent back a notice saying everything was in compliance. 😂
@@rxonmymind8362 HOAs can be Nazis. They can cite you for the littlest of things and make your life miserable. Some of these HOAs have the gull to charge you $6000 a year! Lol screw that. That’s why I live in a very small non-HOA cul-de-sac with only 3 neighbors who are all retirees. 😁
@@Art-bn6vvthey probably thought that the footers and excavating was for a normal garage or outbuilding. When the walls kept going up and up I bet they started making phone calls 😅
Same
“It will be storage, don’t worry.”
HOA: “THAT’S EVEN WORSE!”
I have previously heard of HOA rules that specifically say that a garage is not to be used for any kind of storage (except for a car, I guess !).
@@KiwiCatherineJemma I remember a few years back, a family had someone temporarily staying in their garage. When the HOA found out, they required all homes to leave their garage doors open day and night or they would be fined. They even tried to tell them how many people could live in THEIR home.
That's so odd because the suburban neighborhood I grew up in had a whole rule that your garage door had to be kept closed unless actively using it because it looked "tacky" otherwise lol. I wouldn't be surprised if that was initially the rule in your neighborhood as well until the HOA found out
I’m actually jealous of that industrial style garage. I would totally set up welding in there 😎
It's not an industrial style garage. It's the framework of a garage... How can nobody understand what is said to them.

This structure ghettoizes the neighborhood. I'd be pissed off too.
@@truegrit7697 no it doesn’t. And “ghettoizes” isn’t even a word.
Exactly, this lady is like "Wawagghhh it went up LITERALLY overnight!" That's GOOD! Just because not everyone wants to wait months for a bunch of people to slowly build a house using outdated methods.... so someone uses MODULAR construction and is able to erect a structure in a fraction of the time, using a fraction of the resources, they're not okay?
It's not like she's worried it's gonna fail and hurt the residents. There is zero reason for the duration of construction to be her business. It will never affect her. Construction methodology might be something the city is interested in, but if it complies with the applicable codes and meets their regs, there's naught they can do.
Using pre-fab concrete sections is a great way to build a very strong structure very quickly. They can make them with insulation build in. They use far fewer resources and obviously have lots of labor savings. The one day it takes is more expensive bc they need a crane, but then it's mostly done.
I've worked on factories that were built like this and I watched a 200k sq-ft building go up in a few weeks. Then it took a few weeks to outfit it, install windows, doors, internal offices, internal utilities, etc. then another few weeks to install the food processing equipment and then a month to tie it all together, commission the equipment,. complete all the BS that had fallen behind, finish the offices, install the cubicles, etc. finishing touches, break rooms, locker rooms, that kind of stuff. Within a few months, it went from a snow covered grass field to a functioning yogurt plant. It was going to be 100% in another few weeks. It was already operating though. It used to take at least a year. The concrete panels cut off 8 or 9 months. Total cost was about the same because there were so many problems bc it was their first one building like that but they were able to start pumping out product so much quicker. They planned on it costing about 1/3 less eventually, once they work the kinks out (i doubt that will ever happen but whatever)

These brats make me sick.its his or her property,seems like theyre mad that the garage is bigger than the houses around them.the neighbors are acting like babies
You have to celebrate what this family has done. Their HOA may prevent them from painting with colors they want, from putting up a basketball hoop or flagpole, from parking in their driveway or from parking overnight on the street, from planting certain trees or shrubs, from putting up antennas on the roof, from building a tool shed in their back yard, etc., but it could not stop them from erecting this tall concrete warehouse which pokes the HOA board in the eye.
Ah actually Federal Law says you can put any size antenna on your roof, anywhere. Build away!
And when they are forced to tear it down whose eye will be poked? If they did not get HOA approval the permits and city approval means nothing. People like them are why so many folks buy in HOA communities. The hassle is worth it to avoid living in a neighborhood where anything goes. Overgrown yards lead to rodents. Unmaintained homes cause housing values to drop. The structure they are building will make the values of the homes around it go down simply because most people do not want to live in a house where a 25 foot cement box is all you can see when you look out your window. Same with cell towers, water towers, broken down cars on the lawn, hoopties in the driveway with flat tires and rusted through roofs that have tags that expired 10 years ago. All great reasons to live in an HOA community.
@@lisap-or3kiright, go and live in one then, because so far all I have seen is how many people have lost the right to live how they want to because it just takes one person to put in a complaint. RUclips is full of this issue one woman had her home sold right out from under her by the HOA another guy went off to war and fought for his country to come home to find his home had been demolished by the HOA and there are more and more stories out there. One area had a change of people who ran the HOA and their first act was to ban all home owners with verandas and balcony’s to keep anything on them no chairs no tables no pot plants nothing they had to remove everything of them.

If it's an HOA situation, then I'd be surprised if it was done without any sort of review process, approval, etc. However, if the HOA doesn't disallow it, then as long as it's within local building codes then "architectural style" is not always going to be to everyone's liking.
The building shown is just the framework. It's not finished. and they said it would have the same aesthetics when it was done. They need to investigate the reporting company for the potential they make this shit up and get people to say this to get a news story.
Exactly what I was thinking. Contractors won't start a project if they might not get paid, and a HOA approval is critical in that process. If the homeowner and the builder began construction without HOA knowledge, good luck to them.
It's not a house. It's a garage/storage shed. I think its wrong and should not have been built in a neighborhood of houses.
I’d love to build this in our backyard! Hell, this is a great idea!
This is such a first world problem for the neighbors 😂 It would be annoying to live around them.

Big building comes with big problems.
When wife and I were looking to buy 20 years, two of the house were in HOAs. They wanted $100/mo for dues plus whatever other charges they wanted to toss at us at their discretion. We couldn't even have a smoker in our backyard. Fck that, we ended up buying elsewhere with no HOAs.
You dodged a bullet, good for you, glad you realized what could have been a miserable situation.

@@sarahw.3548 Screeching at everyone around you what they can and can't do with their own stuff is a much, much greater monstrosity. It puts a blight on the neighborhood much bigger and darker than any old building ever did.
It doesn't meet their standards because it isn't build out of sticks and cardboard, it's built too well so they want it torn down. This is just one more example of why you should never move into a home under an HOA!
You actually think they want this torn down because it was built well? Im going to say this with all honesty, that is by far the dumbest thing I have ever heard ANYONE say EVER.

Living in a HOA is to be controlled by that community as to what you can and cannot do. And what’s worse is you have to pay a fee to control others on what their house should look like. Why would anyone want those type of neighbors? HOA is not for my family. When buying a home, watch out for the HOA features.
I would rather live in a van than live somewhere with a HOA, lol. Its always seemed crazy to me how anyone would want to pay for that.
im not from the us, why do they exist
If you have a couple of acres then, yes, build something like this. In a tight neighborhood with the houses close together then build something that blends in. Otherwise the design makes it look like a sewage/water pump station or other utility structure.
I'm glad you don't have a say in their business.
You must be fun at parties
You are absolutely correct. Aside from messing with the aesthetics of the community let alone next door neighbors. This could very well negatively affect future marketability of neighboring homes if they should ever want to sell. It would be interesting to hear what experienced real estate agents would say about this topic.
blending in makes the area look like an HOA.
Not going to lie as it sits right now I would be pretty concerned. It does look industrial. And the city is known to approve just about anything in depending on your connections. But I would probably wait and see before getting too concerned. And while everyone may say and think "to each his own," we are all territorial when it's our home being impacted. it can have consequences to the neighbors. These people building seem very nice. It sounds like the finished place will all work out fine. Give it a chance. And if it doesnt...talk to the city...they are the ones who okayed it.
2:46 this is the kind of neighbor you all need. Well said lady!
You know that when your garage makes other houses look small, it's time to find a plot of land with a few more acres of space.
Honestly, as much as the garage cost, they probably could've made a down payment on a house with a barn out in the country.
Agreed!
Thats what i was thinking also. They knew this was out of place in this neighborhood. Buy land and build your own
thing is huge and looks like takes up most of their whole backyard
Really does not fit visually
No it doesn't match But looks cool and sound proof hey
If your house DOESNT look like an industrial building, then it's probably constructed out of garbage.

You also make concessions when you choose to buy in an HOA. Don't like it don't buy one.
Why? Because they're protecting their property's value? Having that structure built in their neighborhood would immediately lower all property in its vicinity by around 10%.
Apparently you now have to check with the neighborhood to be sure they will like how it looks before building.

It is indeed an eyesore, and normally I would have to say it is their right to build it, but.....if they agreed to operate within the HOA "rules" they no longer have a right to build it, or keep it. You sign your house away to an HOA when you sign their dotted line.
Did you miss the part where they got approval for it? The neighbors are trying to find some way to stop it, but so far the addition meets all the rules and the HOA is not stopping them.
The building fits within the rules.
They probably don't have an HOA. HOA wouldn't allow such a thing. Our HOA got really picky with our color choices when it came time to paint the house. Getting approval from the city for building permits is different than HOA approval. The permits let the county increase the property taxes. So anything that won't catch fire, explode, or fly away in a storm would probably get approval to increase property taxes.

"Property owner" is the most important part of what you said. If you own property, that means you control it. If you control it, that means you can do what you want on it. If someone else doesn't like that, they can either move or buy the property from the owner and tear down the "offending" building themselves. It's that simple.
@@teru797 I don't need you to explain that too me, but thank you. If it were a private property out in Nowhere, Wyoming - no one would care. When it's an urban environment you can expect everyone to react. Building a massive square box to the edge of your property line does allow for more interior square footage, obviously. Also : it's hideous. It shows a complete disregard and or obliviousness to the surroundings, which good architecture and design does consider. It's hoggish, gross, ugly, selfish, thoughtless, dumb and shows a total and complete lack of imagination or talent.

This sort of thing has been happening in LA suburbs for decades now, and it has destroyed the character of countless neighborhoods. It usually involves developers trying to maximize floor space. Personally, I think it is tacky and disrespectful to others in the community.
The owners of this structure will have a lovely time with their new neighbors, I’m sure they’ll get along fabulously and won’t get run out of there via some kind of way.
I'd rather they start buying their neighbors out, 1 at a time.
"Run out of there?" Well, there is no disputing they upped the property values for everyone in range. What you are witnessing is what we call "growth," or even gentrification. I am guessing based on the toys and circumstances that this household is extremely upwardly mobile and they are already exploring the next expansion. This house will get leveraged off, or set aside for rental income as the original builders seek their next greatest challenge. Seen it too many times, come in turn the neighborhood upside down and whoosh, gone again.
Even if they move, the building is permanent so they will still have to enjoy the sight of it long after they move no matter how they treat the occupants. Unless new owners demolish and rebuild and I guess new issues will arrive on a new build as well. That's just how they are.
So is it a house or literally just a huge garage lol. This is why you buy enough land to not have to see your neighbors. Then you won't care what they build
It's just a warehouse-like garage. Their house is up in front of it with another shed, if you watch the aerial shot they put in. I didnt notice at first that the house was in front of it, they built it at the back of their yard.

I see both sides. But you have to comply with hoa standards if you build in an hoa. The homes next to that will drop in value and resale-ability.
If your neighbors who are complaining are planning to sell their houses anyway, that means they are going to move away and they won't be your neighbors anymore. So why should these people care about people who aren't even going to be around for very long?

Number 1 reason my family will be selling our home (as soon as we’re done renovating our bathroom) and buying land to build outside of a neighborhood. I wouldn’t suggest anyone ever live in a neighborhood…EVER!!! Not that we’ve had trouble because we’re quiet and haven’t done anything to stir anything up. But, you can’t do anything you want. And, you can’t pick and choose your neighbors. There are Karen’s galore and HOA even when you have no idea why you pay the HOA. I mean, we have no pool, clubhouse, playground, or anything in our neighborhood. To think every house pays so much a year for such a small amount of entrance landscaping is ridiculous. I will never live in another neighborhood as long as I live. This family should’ve sold their house and built on their own land where they can build whatever they want when they want.
Well thing is too if they plan to build something like that big that takes up pretty much your whole backyard and it towers over your house I would say they would been better off on their own land more room to build and don't have any neighbors if do have any they would be miles away from seeing anything they built
