THREE cars? That's a heck of an ecological footprint. Sounds like he can't afford the cars AND a place to keep them. That's like when you see an expensive tricked-out shiny new pickup truck parked next to a rundown trailer set in weedy lawn. Lack of priorities.

I guess the association he works for must not be thriving.

Clubhouse is open to all. Parking spaces arent. You are a moron.

He’s more of a man than Frank will ever be. What a wuss - won’t even posts own complaint. Sad! What a loser.

This whole arrangement is part of the plat and the community’s master plan. You should have been well aware of it when you purchased. But now you’re whining about it. What an idiot.

Post the plat/plan/parcel/design/drawing...... anything...... showing reserved spots for ungaraged THs (including the 'special ones' for board members!) and I will vacate this thread. Unlike you, I'm good for my word. As soon as you can prove this was the circumstance people purchased into, I will leave.

Otherwise, We- all of us other than you- will wait.

Please hurry up. It is a gorgeous weekend.

*Spoiler alert- the loser won't post diddily.

As soon as you post your little complaint.

Unless parking spots are specifically deeded and owned by an individual, they are considered common areas. As such, these common areas are accessible to all HOA members.

Yep. And I looooooooove how angry it makes the guy with the gay son.

Here's some case law:

Assessments to fund services or improvements in the common area are different in kind from assessments to fund services or improvements on individual lots. Because the common area is shared and jointly owned by members of the community-interest association, the association needs rules and a governance structure (1) to make decisions about the common area, and (2) to ensure that members pay their fair share of common-area expenses and do not free-ride on the contributions of others.

Seems the ungaraged owners are free-riding on the HOA by making common area, maintained by the HOA, private to them alone. That's not right.

+1
and the clubhouse analogy is stupid but can be extended upon too.
Instead of a reservation system that is temporary and first-come first-served, I'm going to get my HOA to just assign the clubhouse to me permanently. It used to be common, but now it's for my exclusive use. Nobody else can use it, not even if I'm not currently used it. It's blocked off for when I, and only I, wish to use it.

Nobody else can use it during the pendency of the reservation. Moron.

Ironic that FC wants to make fun of someone’s child. Very ironic indeed.

FC seems obsessed with someone’s sexual preference. I wonder why. Maybe he has some secrets?

Wouldn’t be surprised given his religious background.

There is a federal court case on this topic against a HOA in Virginia, as one of the HOA members is alleging he is being denied clubhouse access because of his religion. The same lawyer representing the Potomac Yard HOA is also representing another HOA in a similar matter. Her motion to dismiss was denied, which is unsurprising, as motions to dismiss are standard operating procedure for insurance lawyers seeking more billable hours.

The sexual comments appear to be emanating from an individual who does not own a garage. I guess this unlawful parking policy situation I believe calls for desperate measures.

It appears that an individual who does not own a garage initially started a blog in an attempt to create discord between neighbors and Frank. When this effort backfired, the same individual has now resorted to posting about sexual comments in what seems to be a "Hail Mary" attempt to mislead people and link those comments to Frank. This indicates how this individual knows the parking policy is unlawful.

You are vile. I support the guy who filed the suit but you are a disgusting human being.

I don't understand the gay son comment, but I don't know any of the ungarage owners. The guy that filed the suit does not have a son.

I think the point is that the guy who is obsessed with Frank also has a gay son.
