that's actually very commen in nice neighborhoods with HOA, here in Florida some neighborhoods have a HUGE HOA rule book, you can be fined for several silly things I'd never be allowed in such a place tho 😅
@@soulchorea most HOA'S include lawn services, they keep the ditches and roads pristine. you never have to worry about "tacky" neighbors. There's good benefits if you have the $$ and are into that kinda stuff, I'm a country boy from Alabama, i like my woods and solitude personally
@@soulchorea my dad and I build custom cabinets and fences, we work in alot of the types of places, and it'll amaze you what people can cry and complain about
@Danny DNA please, you must be on the board. HOAs are run by fraudsters who rip you off your money. Just check how many times HOAs have gotten in trouble over stealing money, threats, and extortion of money even from people that are not even in their HOA. Clamping/booting residents cars parked in their own driveways and all sorts. And they never have money to fix the things the residents actually pay the money for. Always claiming they have no resources and near every time have to be taken to court to be made to perform their duties. I can keep going. HOAs are filled with Kens and Karens who impose their own will on everyone else. In this situation the trees apparently were too tall. Seriously. Only a creep would object to that because he/she couldn’t see in those people’s windows.
They have the audacity to suggest turning HER playground into a community playground after ALL the grief and stress they caused?! I would not handle this situation well.
Someone miscommunicated there. By law you can't have a community playground on private property. Unless the city itself is planning on buying their house.
I just can’t believe anyone would be so dumb as to ask you to turn your private yard into a public park. Like for real? Besides that looked like a nice community, I’m sure there’s an actual public park somewhere close they can take their kids to without taking over their neighbor’s yard.
Exactly. They also help the neighborhood not to look like a sterile, concrete jungle. I highly doubt the neighbors ever complained about the trees. It's more likely their neighbors will follow suit than complain. The HOA is just using anonymous neighbors as leverage for control.
We lived in a small one once, where dues collected went things such as landscapers who mowed and trimmed everyone's yard, kept trees tidy, and other such niceties, and any left over funds was saved in an account and was used when a family had an emergency. Just before we moved the HOA was able to give a family whose kid was diagnosed with cancer something like 25k to help with expenses from the left over money. Ours was the exception to the rule, and nobody was a nazi. It was less a HOA and more a community fund. I would never move into a modern HOA and if one formed around me I would sue soooo damn hard.
Right? If they want a community playground on their property then they should pay the family a few every time they use it for upkeep and safety. The HOA shouldn’t even get the playground in the first place it’s not theirs
Exactly, I'll be damned If little Billy from down the street who doesn't wash his hands plays on that little girls playground especially since she's probably immunocompromised
I have actually heard of towns and cities actually doing this. I believe the issue arise in terms of settling disputes with other neighbors who either cannot have playgrounds on their property due to reasons out of their control or avoiding conflicts with neighborhood child. I believe there was actually a court case that this debate happened, and towns had to rethink how to handle these situations. Unfortunately, Town officials often need to become mediators in these issues which leads them to do what is best for everyone involved. It actually becoming a increasing problem in many areas as people install pools and other things which the person next door to them might not be allowed to install.
The issue that many places are having is with pipes and lines that run though people's property. How is fair that the neighbors on both sides of you can have a playground and/or a pool but you can't because you have your neighbors sewage or gas line under your backyard(Which does happen). Some people have even been forced to allow the city/town to tear up their backyard after their neighbor had a sewage back-up.
@@brianhaflin9799 Life's not fair. How is it fair that people use their own hard earned money to put up a playset for their sick child and then someone orders it to be made a playset for all? It's no different than people being able to afford something lavish that others can't. As far as your sewage comparison it is completely different. Right of way for a sewage repair is not even close to the same thing as "They have something I don't"
Or you no the HOA takes it over makes it a community play ground then ups your dues…. Like fuck me these people need to be drug out into the street and publicly hung to be made examples of
So the problem with the trees is that a kid might run through them and into the road? Put a fence behind the trees boom problem solved. I'd like to watch the HOA make another excuse
@@priceyt6839 random kids shouldn’t be on their property to begin with. unless all they want is to make the playground public and they can’t do that with the natural plant fence hiding it 🤣🤣. fucking pricks
It’s their own yard too, besides the playground set. It’d be pretty inconvenient to have other people hanging out in your backyard all the time whenever without any notice. I’d be like, I don’t live on a park, c’mon people. Surely there’s a park somewhere close by. You don’t turn someone’s private yard into a public park.
Not to mention liability issues. If someone else's child were to play on that and get hurt, the family could be sued. There's evil and then there's HOA's.
The trees look nice and actually fit the house very well. How silly that they are asking her to share her private property with the neighborhood kids. It reveals how jealous their neighbors are.
Where did say anywhere in the news story to make the play set into a community play set? The HOA is fine with the play set; they're not fine with the tall bushes.

If its on her families property then her family decides. And her familiy SHOULD decide its hers,not community's. As for the trees I thought they looked nice. If their isn't anything in the HOA rules concerning trees or shrubbery the family should win. Although moving out of and away from the whole HOA thing if possible might be the best idea.
It is nice when HOAs don't let people have sheds and swingsets. They look nice at first, but then people do not get rid of them when the kids get older and they look trashy.
I mean, what’s the point? Just fucking ignore the losers 😂 it’s not like they have any actual power, and if they try shit, well it’s incredibly easy to find where someone lives nowadays 🤷♂️
@@skelitonking117 Easier said than done. Whenever we live in HOA owned area, there's legal documents stated that we'll obey the rules. They're backed by law and have full capability to kick homeowner out. Also what will she do after knowing where they lives? Do something stupid and give reason to get fined and arrested? The best way is to face them head on with publicity and lawyer.
HOA's where invented by karens for karens. When dealing with these people always get WRITTEN approval instead of verbal, or at least record the "verbal approval".
I used to be on the board of my HOA, made a motion to lower dues and then another motion to have HOA funds used to hire an attorney to dissolve the HOA. Once both motions were approved I resigned to prevent a quorum to keep the HOA. We don’t have an HOA anymore.
Yup we had a pirate ship in the front yard that we can play with and we had to destabilize it because I think a parent said that her child fell off of it like why the fuck are you tresspassing?
It’s fucking awful. They can’t tell them what they can and can’t put in their yard that THEY FUCKING OWN. what’s worse is when they said they want to turn it in to a community playground. This isn’t a communist society where everyone must share. This is just terrible

@@brianhaflin9799 Sounds like maybe they should have bought enough property or build a smaller house. I've dealt with similar but it was over me being allowed to Grill and have a Campfire but the neighboring apartments can't because well it's apartments and isn't allowed or safe. I live on a totally separate property that's privately owned. To make matters worse I use to be a firefighter so the apartments think I'm getting special treatment when in reality they have no right to tell me what goes on my property as long as I'm not breaking any local laws or ordinances. People just want to complain I believe is the reason for it, they use to call the Police most everytime I built fire or use the smoker but once they got told that they'd be charged with abusing 911 line they quit. Imagine calling 911 and saying you need police because your neighbor has a fire and your not allowed one?? That it's not even on the same property, it was like being in the Twilight Zone when it first started.
Why does the HOA even think about turning a privately owned play-set into a "community space?" The family didn't suggest it and the HOA had nothing to do with purchasing it. Also, those tress are beautiful and are a heck of a lot better to look at than some boring fence.
Cause the HOA are nothing more & nothing less than a bunch of entitled Karens who'll quite literally just complain over the smallest of things and should honestly just be declared illegal.
Why the fuck do you even have a HOA in America. The closest we have to that in britain is the parish council and the most they can do is ask you politely. From the views of a foreigner the HOA literally goes against the foundations that America was built upon and there isnt even a just reason for it. Your country should do itself a favour and abolish it
@@richardschlange9629 in a lot of places you can't even plant flowers in your yard or have bird feeders. They want you to use their invasive lawn grass and liters of pesticides and weed killers. Doesn't help the declining insect populations when humans act so extremely anti-nature. Have you ever seen what happens when a squirrel or opossum finds their way into one of these suburban homes? The residents scream like banshees as if a demon found them and proceed to throw things at the poor animals. They act even worse when an insect finds a way in, especially the ones that aren't as well-known as butterflies. It's depressing as hell how afraid Americans are of wildlife because animals are basically banned from these areas so they have no experience or knowledge of them.
@@livylu6287 is there ANY HOA that isn´t run by a bunch of Karens? Who else would be interested in a job that is controlling other´s personal property?
I see an absence of logic. First, if the shrubs are a hazard to children who may run out from between them , as the trees are fully on private property, then those children are trespassing on that person's property. So that argument is defeated. Here's what I think.....Two scenarios. One involves the view in the photos. The neighborhood is an open design. All properties are unencumbered by trees, fences,( even though with approval are permitted) and certain people would prefer everyone adhere to their idea of a 'good look'...People who live in these neighborhoods are attached to the concept of uniformity. My second idea is that these interloping busy bodies just don't like the existence of the shrubs because the shrubs go around the prohibition on privacy fences. For some unknown reason, and this is not uncommon, certain people become upset when a neighbor has a fence installed. This also projects to shrubbery or trees that provide a barrier/privacy...
@@dankmoon949 Literally turning private property into public property like they’re an authoritarian communist regime. The fact that they can’t even see the irony is hilarious.
Family: *has big trees* Family: *installs play set for daughter* HOA: *claims play set to be code violation* Media: *gets involved* HOA: *changes story, now claiming trees are the problem* Also HOA: *tries to steal play set from family and make it public playground* Bottom line: HOA is full of bullshit people who steal joy from homeowners
@@flitter5400 How? The very fact that you have to defend the HOA while trying to convince me otherwise just proves that the HOA is nothing but shit.

You have not heard both sides of the story. I manage hoas for a living. That play set looks like it’s on common property. I think they are trying to get around the rules. Now, the rules might be ridiculous which is why I don’t live in an HOA, I just manage them.
The family paid for the playhouse, it’s on their property, ITS ASHLAND’S PLAYHOUSE. This is so stupid, if the community wants a playhouse then put one in the park, the kids are gonna wreck the family bought one in a month; they will have no privacy...
I will never be a part of the HOA. The trees are gorgeous and the yard is clearly well kept. Also, they’re not obligated to share the playground. It’s on their property. The last thing they need is some snot nosed kid breaking a bone on their property. Lawsuits galore.
@Danny DNA The fact they even asked in the first place is fucking stupid bruh. A sick little girl who just went through a surgery dont need random ass kids all up in her playground spreading they germs. Head of Assholes are old enough to know this they just hoping someone elses kid gets hurt so they have a reason to take away that little girls playground
@Danny DNA hmmm🤔 are you an envious neighbor by any chance .... Let's face it, without publicity from the media this HOA would have continued harassing the family ""ask"" = code for twisting arm behind back , even muggers "ask" for your wallet
@Danny DNA no that HOA wants her playground even though its on their property. HOAs dont ask they demand. If they dont get what they want they will continue harassing, which the family cant do much about because they might've signed some contract with them.
@Danny DNA I love how you say that as if it was logical to even ask if a bunch of random germ-ridden kids could play on a sick little girls playset who has weak immune system.

There's good intentions because they said they were worried about drivers not being able to see kids in time (although why that's a problem, Idk, because aren't those places like 5/10MPH zones and have signs warning that children might be playing in the street or suddenly run out into the road?), they just approached the issue incorrectly.
@@flashstudiosguy The trees are on the corner of the lot the road is on one side and a driveway on the other so what in the hell is the HOA trying to claim? Also HOAs always say, "your neighbors complained", yet when you talk to your neighbors none of them ever say they complained, so someone is lying.

@@flashstudiosguy the trees are not a public domain so only the homeowners children are at risk and I would think the parents would be around or other adult supervision would be in place here whenever the children are using the plavrgound
You forgot they moved into a communist dictatorship. They would have to get it approved first, which wouldn't happen because the hoa Karen's are but hurt. Lol
Buy a shotgun. Put up No trespassing signs on the edge of the property. If anyone enters the property Since Wisconsin is a Castle doctrine state they have every right to remove them by force.
They're worried kids will run thorugh the hedge onto the road because we all remember playing Run Through the Hedge when we were kids. The scrapes, bruises, and cedar stains were just part of the fun.
Agreed. Those trees have been there long enough to be grandfathered. You don’t transplant 12’ trees. That type (which is actually a shrub) has been thee for probably 5 years.
My Inlaws got some planted this year (2020) that were almost 10ft tall after they were set in the ground. They can be grown that tall but this type is normally translated already at the 6ft mark......

They are probably the pedophiles of the community that can't watch what kids are doing and take pictures of it. The police should investigate those who are complaining. Especially those in the HOA who apparently want to watch children too.
@Danny DNA Lol the HOA are just crooks pretending to be concerned folk, just like public schools, and the gov’t. They bully you in private, then when the spotlight is on them, they try to act like good boys and girls.

They had a problem with the playground but got caught showing their ass when they found out the poor girl was ill so they decided to say it was the trees. Also the fact that they would want to force a SICK CHILD to share their own playground that they use for therapeutic play is disgusting in its own right.
It sounds more like they have a nice set up in a big yard and want the trees removed so that they can turn it into the HOA park with a lot of access. The family would lose their property that they paid for. Lose the play set they paid for. Yet hold all the responsibility in maintaining it and the yard that they will still have to pay tax on. Those trees are a bit big but as the neighborhood trees grow they will Fit in. The problem is it look to be a new subdivision with small trees. The good news is, with those trees you can top them without killing them. They will also fill out making a nice natural fence. They just have to agree on the height. No one has 4ft. Fence. A dog can jump a 4 ft. fence. 6 feet is the normal height for a privacy fence. They should be allowed 6ft. Hedge. It also seems to me that someone on the HOA likes to be able to look into other yards. See what the Jones’s are doing. Then gossip about it later. They need the fences to be low or how else will they be able to spy on them for that gossip?
My advice, and I hope this is available and if not, hopefully someone in the future sees this. If you have to deal with over bearing HOH associations, make sure when you do any renovations that you need to get approval on, get it in writing and with signed approval, that way they can not backtrack out of their agreement
