I don't like Associations but in this case I do!

How many of you home owners don’t like Associations where you live?

I really don’t care for them because first of all they charge to much for what?

And they can be real picky about weeds, colors used to paint you home, oil spots in your driveway, etc.

This photograph below was taken at a very nice condo complex with around 5 different buildings in Singapore. If I had to look at these clothes hanging on rods out the windows where I lived I would just love to be part of building that had an Association!

Robert - LOL - let it all hang out ...... their mother likely never told them it's not nice to expose your dirty laundry to for all the world to see.

Hello Kathy and you are very funny! And can you believe all these clothes hanging out? This is just one photo of one side of a building, all 5 buildings had clothes hanging out the windows!

Hi VB - I've never been a fan of associations which is why I own a home, but you're right - hanging laundry never looks good, especially on top of a building! I love my dryer - lol!

Looks like they are built in. Can't wait for that trend to start here. "And this fine 2 br 1 bth condo comes with nine cloths poles for airing your briefs."

I love the gated association I'm in. I'm the "go to" guy and get plenty of sales from it!

Thanks for stopping by Kristine and those clothes are well ... sore on the eyes!

And Glen these poles just might be built in.

Hello Rob and YES some people really love HOAs because they keep the neighborhood looking better!

Hello Patricia and Kathy is a real "Hoot" isn't she!

And Tom I do have to agree with you there, HOAs are a love & hate relationship!

Hello Jane and it is kind of weird isn't it and I bet all these people from Singapore save a lot of money on electricity!
