Another ‘Kid-Friendly’ Homeowners Association

These stories are nauseating. Here’s another California Homeowners Association which has decided that kids are ‘Satan’s Spawn’ and need to be harassed out of the neighborhood. It’s understandable that HOA boards want kids to be safe. But I drive around neighborhoods all day long and see basketball hoops and skateboards and hockey nets. There’s rarely a story of any kid being hit in a neighborhood.

We’ve done enough in the PC world to screw up our kids’ heads. I’d far rather see kids playing basketball than getting fat playing video games.

Fie on the Whitney Oaks Community Association in Rocklin, California. Fie. Yes, I know that’s a little archaic. But it just feels good to say.

Fie!

    “It’s not right, it’s not fair that we have to waste our time to defend being a family”

    And as usual, the outrage from the “family values” crowd is drowned out by the sounds of crickets chirping…

    …because this anti-child “zero tolerance” stupidity is privatized.

    It’s the entire HOA industry preventing kids from being kids. For a long time, our HOA considered a playground for the kiddos. Something simple like a swing, slide and maybe a sandbox.

    Much to our surprise, the HOA’s insurance carrier informed us that we could build one, but our rates would go up 31K a year. Are you kidding me!? Needless to say, the kids new playground went up in smoke.

    While I understand that toddlers shouldn’t be playing in busy parking lots and busy streets, Associations are destroying children’s childhoods. HOA’s look at everything as a liability, including children, dogs, cats etc. It’s a shame!
