I'm Semi-Hot and Super-Annoyed.

Gotta get hotter.

I found that link via the ‘Incoming Links’ section on my dashboard. If that’s a real picture, the blog owner’s pretty hot. I’d do him.

—————

I was looking at places to rent around Wilmington. I came upon this little townhouse, which is too far outside of town for me, but I still thought it was cute [and hella cheap to boot] so I skimmed the description. And I read:

“All tenants must be related by marriage or blood per HOA”.

Damn North Carolina! I thought we were past that! This pissed me off. I don’t understand how it’s even legal for a Home Owner’s Association to dictate the living arrangements of a couple or family. There’s no way in hell I’d live in a neighborhood with those types of restrictions. I for one love the gay couple down the street, and the unmarried folks that live beside us. They are perfect neighbors.

Now I can understand, somewhat the ‘no students’ thing. This is a college town, and college students can get pretty rowdy. I can sort of get no co-signers as well, that’s pretty common. But to stipulate that their ‘values’ must be on the same strange and outdated level as yours?

Who the fuck wants to live in fucking Stepford? I sure as hell don’t. Not to say they’d even accept our family – I’m pretty sure that minorities and interracial couples don’t fit in their little mold either.

I cannot believe this type of blatant discrimination is still allowed. I can’t even say anything more…I’m just too shocked/disgusted to delve deeper.

Does anyone out there understand this? See why they would have this type of stipulation? If so – let ME know. I’m just a puzzled as a drunk squirrell on the highway.

Nope.  It is not fair and it is not right.  I don’t get it.
Maybe they have that clause more so that they don’t get transcient owners.  Maybe they just don’t want people moving in and out all the time.  They want long term owners.  I have no idea.  I’m grasping at straws here.

Hey, at least you found out before you moved in, right? At least they posted their assholery for all the world to see, take it or leave it? Thank God you don’t have to live among those people. Right?

I think that the Homeowner’s Associattions pretty much get to do what they want.  I mean, there are places here for senior citizens only, and they are allowed to do it because it is clearly stated; nobody can move themselves and their kids in there and then say “Hm, I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to do that!”  Doesn’t mean it is right, not in a million years, and has just goven me one more reason to be pissed off-like I need one.

That is fucking ridiculous!   HOA’s suck donkey balls anyway.  It’s crap that they are legally allowed to get away with discrimination. There’s no other explanation. If they don’t want college types in there, they could have just said “no college roomates”.

HOA is a group of judgmental bastards?
I had a friend in college whose landlord put into the lease that women couldn’t have “male overnight visitors”.  At the time she didn’t care, but when the landlord couple started calling at night and driving by to make sure she sued them for harassment.
Interesting that the lease didn’t say anything about men having women stay the night.

They want you to be related to EACH OTHER.  Landlords do this to keep students out of quiet areas.

It is worse here in Oz.  Rental prices are skyrocketing and now they are doing rental auctions, highest bidder wins.  So the haters get to hate on whole new levels.
And yeah, you are so much hotter than those other biatches.
