I haven't read the thread.

I hate HOA's.

Having said that, good friend and his wife live in a neighbrohood where one person thought BRIGHT yellow with Lime Green (and I think pink) trim was a great color for a house. His Mom (rip his dad, who died on father's day. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />) lives on a road with a [color:"blue"] BRIGHT BLUE [/color] house with baby blue trim gathers attention as you drive by. Both are hideous. And while I respect their rights to do what they will with their houses, even I have limits.

Supposedly, my neighborhood has an architectural committee that must approve colors. I've never signed a darned thing, though, so the chances of them enforcing are slim. I'd never do anything to hurt my property value, though, so I think they're fine.
