The convent and rules should have been provided to you prior to you purchasing the home. They have direct bearing on if you had informed consent when you entered into the contract. The title company and seller fucked up if they did not disclose these to you.

Did they start with a fine, or just ask you to move the trailer? And do not go by what others have in their yard. Good old boy selective enforcement is a thing.

You should have been given a set of rules governing what you can and can not do with your property when you signed the HOA contract as part of the purchase. If not ask them for one ASAP.

I'm not your lawyer, and I am not a contract/housing lawyer. If it is important and may cause you to lose your home, get a lawyer who specializes in that area to look things over for you.

That said, it will generally depend on the charter, what YOU signed when you purchased the home, and how big of a bunch of dicks the HOA is. Last I looked court cases were all over the place, but mostly the HOA's won.

Sad to see someone that young die. I hope it was not a case of missing safety devices or failure to yield/running a red light.

Mostly they spend their time running from one call to the next. Thanks to the sorry state of our basic human services, shit economy, and infinite money for jails but none for treatment philosophy of our leadership. It basically is one vicious circle.

Our leadership is straight up incompetent in this regard. 10 million + for a giant gas station (that does not allow Semi-trucks which we actually might have needed) when we have plenty of them already. 16 million + for a sports ball stadium that cannot meet its own operating costs. Yet how much for addiction treatment? Mental health care? Sidewalks, bike lanes, public transport to make it easier for poor folk to get to job's or services? And so forth, you know things that are actually proven to work to help stop crime.

I appreciate the work they try to do in the community, and SPD has generally been a class act when I deal with them. But police culture in general and my experience would indicate that if they do not know then they just do not care to know and there are no repercussions anyway even if they did. It is a relatively minor gripe I realize. But I do hold public servants to a higher standard than joe blow meth head.

More like they just do not care because there is no penalty for them breaking the law like that.

The turn lane is NOT for you to pull out into. It is for traffic to get out of the way of others while waiting to make a left-hand turn. Those meth heads using it to do a left into traffic need to learn how to drive.

For DIY types, Best Buy is the only real option. Back in 2019 Microcenter told me they were planning an expansion in this area. Then Covid hit and that was canceled. NewEgg has been good to me for online ordering.
