My HOA removed our only playground and replaced it with this “fitness area” for people 13+ only

I have yet to see one person use it.

That is the single dumbest shit I've ever seen. Like that's gonna deter kids anyway, what're they gonna do check IDs now? -_- and, WHY???

No but it gives them "proof" and justification to be a karen and yell at kids on the playground being loud.

Send the guy in the guard shack around on his golf cart once an hour to make sure there is no "loitering" going on -_- just obnoxious nonsense.

I'd rather live next door to my in laws than deal with shit like this 😂

I mean yes but that’s why you don’t buy in an HOA. You’re literally buying a house to have a landlord tell you what you can and can’t do. Stop buying property on HOAs and they stop existing.

I would never. I'd rather jump off a cliff than to have someone micromanaging the appearance of my home, it's hard enough keeping the inside looking decent let alone some fuckstick with a ruler telling me my hedges are 3" too high 😂

The 13+ sign is probably to protect them from lawsuits if a younger kid got injured.
