Honestly, if Commander Toreth was a little older and had white hair, she’d be a ringer for our current HOA president.
carolyn seymour; she was twice cast as romulan, then appeared in episode where riker gets trapped in an alien hospital - she got warp scientist role who in the end left planet onboard enterprise. and eventually she could be seen on voyager as holodeck character of mrs templeton.
We have a neiboring HOA. holy shit, yeah.
Fun story. there’s an HOA that developled some property adjacent to our neighborhood. The HOA President lady has been hating on stray cats (thinking they’re being let out.) Like trying to poison them with bait level of hate. One day not too long ago, she posted a video on next door bitching about the cats again. Apparenlty a “Cat” was chilling on her front porch and “peed” on her, when she went to walk her annoying little freak. (it’s not the dogs fault. raised by bad humans.)
Anyhow. She posted the video to prove how awful the strays were.
It wasn’t a cat. It was a skunk. And it wasn’t piss. She got sprayed. and everyone on next door apparently started giving her fake solutions to getting sprayed.
Oh no.
Is the skunk ok?
I live in an area where HOAs are the norm, and yet somehow lucked into buying a property without one. I count my blessings for that every day.
So someone who didn’t put money into my property, doesn’t have rights to the land. Fitted Dictates to me how I use it for frivolous things and I have to give them money.
Ok freedom land
Well, I could tell you there is a Romulan HOA Board I heard something about where they took a kid’s insulin during a seizure because their Romulan HOA Rulebook said it was unauthorized medication. At the center of it, were two self-appointed Romulan Neighborhood Enforcers who chose power and power over a dying boy’s life. But what they didn’t know was the boy’s father wasn’t just a grieving parent, he was a Federation Admiral, and he had the Federation Law on his side. What followed was a investigation reckoning, a firestorm in a social media group, and a brutal unraveling of a Romulan System bent on control. And just wait until you find out how this battle ended, because Federation Justice didn’t just knock, it kicked the whole damn door in.
Over my dead resale value!
My question is…what power does an HOA have? If you paint your house a color they don’t approve of, do they think they can kick you out of the neighborhood? Fine you? Go full kristallnacht?
The body that regulates “asthetics” in my city is not part of the HOA. They’re related to the original developer. They keep losing lawsuits regarding fences and paint colors so at this point I’m not really sure why they exist other than to provide local lawyers with steady work.
