Times When The Homeowner’s Association Ruined Everything

What’s the Difference?

When I was a kid, I lived in one of the two front rooms of the house, which were the hottest in the summer and the coldest in the winter. My dad didn’t like to use the A/C so we all just had fans.

One summer, it got so unbearably hot in my room that fans just weren’t cutting it and I was miserable. My dad then put an A/C unit in my window and it was awesome.

But it was short-lived because the HOA told us to take it down, simply because it was an “eyesore.” My parents told them it was for their child but they didn’t care, so my parents had to take it down. 

The kicker? Just down the street, a guy who had the exact same model house as us had an A/C unit installed in the same exact window like the one we had it in, and the HOA never said a word to him.
