Even better, let them steal or move it. If you keep your garage door open to get in and out easier, you can put a small security camera in there to monitor it, and when it disappears and is replaced by your neighbor's car you'll have video evidence to give to the police.

Ohh no i wouldn't leave my garage open, I have a lot of belongings in there. I just open it when I need to get the wheelchair in/out. I would love to have a security camera set up somehow though. I had to get a ring cam cause package thieves/dumb kids messing with my door

TMOG posted...

Is it possible to tell them you're withholding this payment until they deal with the parking issue?

That is possible. Honestly though from attending the last HOA meeting it seems like a huge number of residents (understandably) just can't pay the $10k. And this in turn will delay the roof delays making them even more expensive lol

They really fucked up by not even trying to set up payment plan options though? Its so out of touch to expect most people to have $10k laying around with a few months notice

texanfan27 posted...

Why is he even parking in your driveway? Too many cars or what?

but yeah, get his car towed after taking multiple pictures showing it happening over a few days. Evidence will help your case

I... assumed that, but sometimes when he parks there there are other free spots i guess maybe they were all full when he actually parked.

Yeah I kinda made it hard for myself by not documenting all this in an organized way. If I reach out to a lawyer I'll have to scrub through my phone gallery/discord/texts to find all the pics I took, and it probably won't be comprehensive

Jiek_Fafn posted...

Call your HOA and at least get your barrel back. Take that opportunity to ask wtf you're supposed to do otherwise

Yeah ill try replying to the original violation message. I kinda... wouldn't put it past them to deny taking it though? And its still possible it was someone else

You might be able to find a cheap used dirt bike to occupy the space while still giving you enough room to maneuver. You'll have to start drinking a lot more Mountain Dew when you're in front of your neighbors to really sell the new you.

Oh huh yeah a bike in my driveway shouldn't be a violation since it's a vehicle huh. Im not sure what I would chain it to to prevent it getting stolen though

kingdrake2 posted...

this. somebody taking up a designated parking spot (especially for someone who has to use a wheelchair) is the one of the lowest things somebody could do to someone.

probably play revenge game with a can of coke. there wouldn't be any more talking (straight to the punishment).

There are plenty of ways i could fuck with their car and its fun to think about, but ultimately I would be fucked if he retaliates

At most, im tempted to scrape/ram his car with the wheelchair trying to get out of the garage. We'll see how mad I am next time it happens -_-

TheGoldenEel posted...

this is good advice too

local news love shit like this

as an extension of that idk how big your city is but this is the sort of thing that my local news might pick up if i just posted this on my city's subreddit

Hmm yeah actually posting in my city's subreddit isn't a bad idea for getting some local attention

wackyteen posted...

Would where they park constitute a parking violation if you did it? Like if you blatantly park in front of a driveway such that it blocks flow in/out, that could warrant a ticket or tow by police.

If it is and you would get in trouble for leaving your vehicle like that, then it's definitely a discrimination thing if they're not actioning it

Oh its my driveway in front of my garage, but I dont own a car so its empty. It literally only inconveniences me loll

NoxObscuras posted...

Damn this is still ongoing? I'm so sorry to hear that. I remember you posting about it over a year ago, and I just assumed you had gotten things resolved.

I agree with getting legal advice on what to do. You should not have to deal with this for so long

Yeahh its really an on-and-off thing, and I probably don't always even catch it because I leave my house so rarely. If I was going out and this was happening every day, it'd almost be easier to deal with

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Oh yeah that's definitely against the HOA lol, I think any kind of signage is too

Kaldrenthebold posted...

Do you have the legal right to that area of your driveway? What is in your contract / lease / ownership papers?

Any time it is there call a tow truck on it. So long as you have the legal right to that spot there's nothing anyone can do. And you can pay a lawyer to draft up a C&D for relatively cheap. Most lawyers give some kind of free consultation up to 30 minutes so actually look around. You can check your state's BAR page to find relevant lawyers afaik.

It is my designated parking spot with the condo unit, but im not sure of the exact legal designation. I know that some local tow companies would not come out to tow at my complex, I had to find the specific one contracted to tow here

Hmm ill take a look into the BAR page and see if I can find one, ty for the info :0

TMOG posted...

I also want to repeat once again that HOAs are a terrible, culty idea and nobody should ever willingly live in a neighborhood that has one.

I also have to pay them $10k for a special assessment by July <3 really wish I had the option to live outside of one when I moved

TheGoldenEel posted...

Yeah this was my thought too

seems like there is some obvious discrimination going on here

Huh really? This never even occurred to me. Do you mean on the side of the HOA or neighbor? When the neighbor started doing it, I don't think he knew who I was or anything. I figure he just sees me as easy to take advantage of because he hasn't faced any consequences thus far, I doubt im being targeted for being a minority or w/e

TomClark posted...

It's fucking ludicrous that the HOA/local authorities have allowed this to go on for so long.

Oh I agree but tbf I haven't been pursuing it aggressively with authorities like I should probably. I filed a few tickets with the HOA a while back and just gave up because they wouldn't do anything. We had a cop come out once a while ago and they said they couldn't do anything. At the time I couldn't even find a tow company willing to come out

Frankly I'm barely able to function a lot of days cuz mental health shit so I dont know that I'm capable of pursuing this consistently with law enforcement/etc. I mean this shouldn't be happening, but its kinda on me in a way for letting it slide for so long

Hambo posted...

"improperly stored belongings" Fuck off with that. Your HOA and neighbors are absolute sociopaths. Have you asked them what physical barriers you would be allowed to place to ensure you can actually get into your own home?

Nahh i really should have replied to the violation message sooner, and maybe the cone wouldn't be taken lol. I planned to just tell them I wouldn't move it unless they gave me an alternative to deter parking, but I just put it off too long

DrizztLink posted...

TC, can you check and see if your area has pro bono services?

Like once every few months attorneys in my town will have an event where they go be free consultations.

Probably won't get a full solution out of it but it lets you have a better idea of the options.

Hmm ill look around for options :0 it would be nice to just have a consultation with someone to see if there's anything I can do

xsdarknesssx posted...

Is this a stand alone house that you own if so that should be ground enough to have it towed if it is parked on your private property, and I would do it post haste with an anal HOA that would likely find violations for you with it being parked there or something. If you are disabled and they are doing anything to infringe on your rights get a lawyer because they are basically screwed. And document everything.

Its a condo, and I think there was some grey area about the driveway not being my private property, and the cops couldn't help because it wasn't public property either. Either way I did find the tow company that is assigned to my complex so I know who to call now :b

TheGoldenEel posted...

Get a lawyer imo

Where would I even start with that? I assume it would be very costly. Ive thought about posting on r/HOA or r/legal for advice but I dont rly use reddit

divot1338 posted...

I cant believe this is still going on.

I think it may be time for you to look into alternative solutions.

Yup. I thought the cone was gonna work out -_- not sure what to do now

Robot2600 posted...

it kinda sounds like they're discriminating against you

do you present as queer or andro?

lawyer up if u can, it'll cost like 500 bucks but the lawyer should be able to send a C&D to the HOA and threaten to sue under ADA and title ix for unfair treatment.

Hmm uhh I am nonbinary but I don't really put effort into presentation either way. I think the HOA head is a lesbian woman also? Imo I think both the HOA and neighbor are just shitty and dont care if it doesn't benefit them

Will_1231 posted...

Jeez, this sounds like a rough situation. Have you tried communicating directly with this person, and they just didn't care? Is threatening to have the car towed a possibility?

Yup, I left notes on his windshield explaining the whole situation politely. It took a while to actually find out who the neighbor was, but we have spoken to him face to face multiple times now. I have stared him in the face while sitting in my wheelchair as he backed his car out. He's just like "oh sorry it won't happen again" (it happens again)

Yeah I do really just need to tow him next time I catch it. I have called before, and they always take so long to get out here, the neighbor comes and moves it by the time they call back. Other times its just really late and I dont want to deal with it OR it's a different car and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt (he gets new cars really frequently its weird). I just need the balls and patience to do it next time -_-

Brief background if u haven't seen my other topics on this:

Shitty neighbor has been repeatedly parking in front of my garage for a couple years now. I use a wheelchair and this blocks my only way of leaving/entering my home. Neighbor is fully aware of my situation and continues to park there, HOA and law enforcement have not helped me.

So a month ago or so I just left a bigass traffic cone in my driveway, it actually stopped the guy parking there and I thought I could finally stop worrying about all this

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/87b6bb72.jpg

Well a couple weeks ago I got a violation warning from my HOA about "improperly stored belongings" in regards to the cone. It pissed me off since they've done nothing to help the parking situation, but I didn't reply to it because they weren't threatening a fine or anything

Yesterday at some point, someone removed the cone with no warning. I would assume it was the HOA, but their violation letter didn't communicate this would happen. I suppose it could have been the shitty neighbor too, since I definitely wouldn't put it past him.

Either way, filing a missing property report with the HOA wouldn't do any good since they wouldn't help me with stolen packages in the past, and this cone wasn't supposed to be there in the first place i guess. I'm just so tired of all this lol. I don't really know what I can do other than join the next HOA board meeting and try bitching at them

haven't read the thread, but i heard he faked his suicide then started posting balls and hole on an alt lmao?

I just napped and had a dream they made me kiss some white guy

he's alive according to discord :b

edit: yeah he said he forgot his password here and never bothered to reset it

i like it as an occasional treat

i've found i prefer pudding over boba if they offer it tho

remember when preorder bonuses used to be like... plushies or figurines?

Yes <3 HOA never helped me. I just put a bigass cone in my driveway and don't have to deal with it anymore

The parking deal is just so weird I don't even know what to think... my gf saw that neighbor recently pulling his car out of a different neighbors garage?? He also keeps getting NEW bmws. And has weirdos knocking at his door for 10 mins straight at weird hours

I would rather live in a studio apartment for life than own a HOA house.

Id be fine with that if I lived alone >_> this isn't even a house either, 2br condo unit

Oh I should also mention they "lost" like 300k in reserve funds earlier thjs year because one of the board members accounts went inactive and got collected by the state treasury somehow?

Bleuets posted...

Im guessing its a special assessment fee. Which Ive had when my HoA said they had to fix our roof for the townhouse unit I live in.

my best advice would be to make sure you have a high enough amount for special assessment fees in your insurance plan.

I didnt think home insurance covered this? I am pretty sure I just pay insurance as part of my mortgage and this $10k comes from out of pocket

DnDer posted...

"Or else," can't possibly be legal, even with the arsenal of bullshit an HOA is allowed to pull.

Did they say what it's for, or why there's such an unreasonable deadline with no method to pay it down over time?

Idk lol they're threatening if you don't pay it in their PDF https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/86435e77.jpg

And yeah its for roof/gutter repairs. I mean its probably necessary and maybe I would have had advance warning if I'd gone to the HOA meetings. But I'm pretty sure no one in the community attends them

No payment plan options either lol, due July 1st. I thought this was insane, but I see some people on reddit talking about getting hit w/ special assessment fees of 100k+ and losing their home, so guess im lucky...?

Please don't post about how it's my fault for living under an HOA, I don't have any other option in my area

I dont understand why people wait until the last minute to do their taxes. Its such a thing.

Just sit your ass down at the computer for an hour or two and get that shit done. I understand the anxiety of possibly having to owe (you should have heard the stream of curse words flying out of my mouth last year when I owed like $1,200 I gotta figure out how to make that not happen) but wouldnt you rather know that you owe money as early as possible so you can get it together if needed than owe a lot and not have it?

idk i wasn't anxious about it, I just procrastinate a lot and have been legitimately busy with a lot of projects lately

I usually do it pretty late, but this is the first time I've done it this last minute I guess

Never had it until a year ago or so, and yeah it's pretty damn good for the price. Appreciate the variety too, I KNOW those tacos are fucking gross but 50 cents...

As someone that has been on disability from practically since birth I can tell you its pretty easy nowadays to actually check this information. I was jokey jokin' with my earlier post but truth is vast majority of us on disability really do have medicare and/or medicaid insurance cards in our wallets at all times. It'd imagine they could set up a kiosk where you log into whatever state medicaid you (or your kids) got or medicare's website, the pad or whatever they have set up verifies it, you get a little sticker/tag/bracelet/whatever the hell saying you were verified and then you are good to go.

There's definitely disabled folks not on disability/Medicare though, I don't think the Disneyland guys can make that a requirement. Idk how I'd prove it without a doctor's note
