Gonna start calling my HOA the "Romulan Senate" because the similarities are striking.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

HOA's are a problem though "property values" shouldn't be the arbiter of what you can do to your home. Nothing should be off limits baring safety issues.
So a continuous siren on your roof shouldn't be a problem for your neighbors?
Safety shouldn't be the only limit.
There's already noise bylaws for that.
Okay. A light house? Whatever else you and I can't imagine? There's plenty of annoying shit that's not illegal.
Also neighborhood pools, playgrounds, parks. All managed by the HOA.
In less wealth-unequal countries, things like parks, playgrounds and pools are run by the city/town or municipality.
We have those too. Most probably. But sometimes a neighborhood will have their own.
There's no need for a HOA if the city completely fulfils the need for those public places, is what I'm saying. The discussion was on the purpose of HOAs, and this ain't it.
Most outright annoying shit, done nonstop, is covered under nuisance laws of some sort.
