If hair can be lengthened how about trees?
Quick! We need tree extensions in River Grove at Merritt Island, Florida before Pat Fitzgerald rips his Magnolias from the earth! His HOA is fining him $5000 because a couple of Magnolia trees he planted were too short. He’s already spent $1500 in an effort to mediate this idiotic dispute. Miracle Grow doesn’t work fast enough for this HOA board.
So, kiss those trees good-bye, Pat. Don’t you know you’ve destroyed all the property values in your neighborhood?
That’s right, Richard Rahn of the River Grove HOA board says Pat’s short trees have got to go! Yes, go! Not grow! I’m thinking things were better when board members didn’t make public comments. Because now that this board member has spoken out, HOAs everywhere should change their by-laws requiring elected officers to have an IQ of at least 50!
Pat never dreamed his military service during The Gulf War was going to be matched by the danger of growing trees in his front yard. But insanity never ceases to exist in HOAs!
Oh boy! Will it ever end?
Unbelievable! Maybe the pharmaceutical companies can find a new drug for this “HOA Nazi Syndrome.” Or possibly the AMA can do some clinical research to find the cause and cure for this syndrome, that takes seemingly normal people, and turns them into nincompoops.
