This is exactly the reason why I will never buy a house that has an HOA!!! All these little Nazi's trying to bully people over nothing!!! The Stout Family in Lee's Summit Missouri put up a play set for their children. They have 2 little girls, ages 5 and 8. And the girls wanted the playset painted pink, but they settled on purple. A very muted dull purple, not the Barney in your face bright purple. Well, an employee of the HOA ratted them out to the HOA after he failed to get one of the neighbors to file a complaint. This guy does code enforcement. However, the playset conforms to all of the stupid rules including the color because it states : "a) Color: must be subdued and within harmony with other colors of the community including slides, swings and canopies." And this muted purple is in line with the neighbors colors in the community. But those assholes who are running the HOA don't agree and are doing everything in their power to get the playset removed. And the family has offered all sorts of remedies, they even offered to let the HOA choose the color, but the HOA refused. Look, if you own your house and property, no one should have the right to tell you what color to paint your house or your playset. The playset is in the backyard and not in the front yard. So even if you paint it baby shit green and Big Bird Yellow, who cares! The Nazi's on this HOA care. And they have dug their heels in and are hounding the Stouts and have filed a lawsuit against them. So stupid!!!
What's going on here is that someone on the HOA has it in for the Stouts and they are using this debacle over the color of the playset to get back at them. I know this HOA has better things to do than to go to court over the color of a playset. Really? This is what you are spending the residents' $200.00 per month HOA fees on??!?!?! If I were a resident of the HOA, I would sue the HOA for wasting time and money on something so stupid.
The Stout's hearing is set for Friday August 21st. I wish them good luck.
