Protecting my investment!

I found the number of respondents opposed to being subjected to the rules and regulations of a ''Homeowner Assocation'' astounding.

I am a 32 year resident of Las Vegas and have witnessed first-hand the effects of living in non-association neighborhoods. If you are a home owner who happens to disagree with association policies take a quick drive around the city and view some of our more attractive, association-free neighborhoods (many east of I-15). After having toured these ''non-restrictive'' areas, take a drive through the newer neighborhoods that are often subject to association regulations. Care to venture a guess whose property values will be worth more 20 years from now???

I chose to purchase a home with an association for one reason: To ensure the neighbor next to me will not allow his/her property to go to hell-in-a-handbasket! Have you ever lived next door to a property owner (or renter) whose dirt is so dry even weeds cannot penetrate the ground? Have you ever had a neighbor who discarded their non-operative car on their front yard and ''just hasn't gotten around to calling a junkyard yet''??

Should associations be illegal? Absolutely not!! If you don't want to live in a neighborhood represented by an association, LOOK ELSEWHERE!

Right on Christy!

You?’ve hit it on the head. Such an insightful assessment of our situation. As with you, I wouldn?’t put a lick of trust in my fellow neighbor.

Whatever it takes to keep the undesirables out! (You know which ones I'm referring to.)
