You were given a list of outdoor plants that were acceptable. Your car could only go back so many years--one man had to store his antique elsewhere.<br />I got a house instead and put my tree on my sun porch for all to see.Mary@GigglesandGunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350818228268801008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-68074048881463242742010-04-23T19:07:45.698-07:002010-04-23T19:07:45.698-07:00Like so many things, like unions, the basic premis...Like so many things, like unions, the basic premise of homeowners associations was good.

So now I have to get permission from both them and the city for some issues. Funny part is that the association can only go so far and then law takes over anyway. <br /><br />If I have to have one according to city law, then I should get to deduct those fees from my city tax bill as well (which currently we don't so I basically pay double taxes). Also, the city loves to dump issues back onto our association so they don't have to take care of things like street lights and signs.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990961687954788682noreply@blogger.com
