Holiday Wreath causes Controversy

[Simon]

Linkster - I couldn't agree more. I was once foolish enough to live in a Manhattan condo ruled by a condo board. Never again will I put myself in that position (at least not unless I get to set up and run the show).

I think our own f69j69b lives in or near Pagosa Springs, so maybe he'll drop by to add some local color to this story.

I totally agree it is insane.

However homeowner associations are known for wacky things like this, and when you live in a neighborhood that is governed by these organizations, you come to expect this nonsense.

My Mom worked in the property management field in the San Francisco area. One company that she worked at for a number of years specialized in condos. I've heard the horror stories first hand, condo boards are the absolute worst form of Homeowner Association. There always some wanna be dictator that is board president.

Muwahahaha!

Prior to moving to Florida, I was the pres of a homeowners association. Fortunately, it was a very small group of townhomes...but even then...what a pain in the ass! Never NEVER again!

You wouldn't believe some of the phone calls I got...and the times I got them. Or, the evening when I had to make a citizens arrest of a drunk driver who was trying to change his two flat tires in our parking lot. These being the two tires he'd popped by sideswiping a curb down the block.

Did I mention...NEVER again

Added: Forgot the intent of this thread. That guy is a fucking moron and needs to be dePres'd...much like the asshat running this country right now
