So there is...um...a totally pink house blocks from me

StorminNorminSo there is...um...a totally pink house blocks from me
Ok so now I can vouch that this guy and their family are very annoying. There is a house on the street behind my house that have annoyed me for years. One of the sons in the family was in a car accident years ago and is now wheelchair bound. The family won a lawsuit from that accident and got a ton of money. They bought all of their kids very nice vehicles and all have those super loud car audio systems with the bass that will literally rattle windows.
I have had to call the police on them so many times I have lost count from them leaving their vehicle running outside of their house with the radio turned up so loud it has actually caused picture frames to fall off my wall from the vibration of the bass. They don’t just have the radio that loud for a few minutes; it will be 30 minutes of it before I had enough and would call the police. They also have a ski boat parked in the backyard with those directional speakers on it which point right to my house and they will blast the music on it forever until the police are called.
They also like to shoot birds in their trees with BB guns just for fun and laugh about killing them. I was curious of who owned the pink home so I ran the license plate of the vehicle in the driveway and looked up the home owner. Guess who owns the home? It is one of the sons who lived in the annoying house behind me. Apparently he moved out and bought that house and does indeed enjoy annoying people. Good grief.

OrgussWhat makes it worse is that there are no contrasting accents. At least make it look decent!

1s1kI would take the HOA. This guy is obviously an attention whore dousche bag and the house color is probably just the tip of the iceberg. That fence might be worse.

I'd say you're asking a lot, expecting style from this guy.

An HOA, is like crippling the 2A. It seems like you're protecting yourself by giving up your rights, but really you fuck yourself long term.

That’s the best explanation of an HOA I’ve seen yet.

Me, too. Not sure I'd want to live next door to him, but the house is kinda pretty.
Yep. No HOA would ever allow that--probably not even one in Haight-Ashbury.

RHINOWSOThis random case still isn't worth a HOA.
It's a perfect example of why you should have a larger lot, with trees, and mind your own business.

Black92LXWe have an all pink/fuscia house here though the roof is not pink.
I have seen houses look a whole lot worse than that. Yup wakadoo color but everything seems to be kept in pretty good shape.
Not really all that big of a deal in my book. Sounds like his attitude would be a larger issue.

After a while of that douchebaggery id be tempted to stuff thier mail box with dog shit and a nice note as to why they deserved it. And would keep it coming as long as they do

joel9507I like the color, actually, but I should also note that when I was a kid I had a solid purple ping pong table.

^It was sold after decades of ownership. New owners repainted it normal.... then after a while painted it pink again. Some things become landmarks. The OP photo, not so much.

AeteoclesYou know what would be funny?
If the city came in and built a 10 foot block wall right in front of the house on the street.

kimber1911How long is that paint going to last on the shingles?
Seems like a bad idea, even if you like the color.
It is interesting to note that the homeowner looks a lot like his house.

SteynI never thought I’d say this, but yay for my HOA.
As for all the ones arguing “but it’s a private property!”, I’d counter that it’s precisely because property rights are essential that that monstrosity should not be allowed: it ruined several other private properties - at least the value thereof.

WrecklessIn a little community of off base duplex houses near Fort Dix NJ a slum lord was forced by the town to paint his properties based upon complaints from the tenants and others. This slumlord applied malicious compliance to his response by having the homes painted in various shades of Fluorescent colors. As there were no local codes against it he sure made his point. I had to chuckle every time I drove by those garish homes.

DennisMPersonally, I'd care less about the color of his house than the fact that he's probably bat-shit crazy.
