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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

One contentious situation in our neighborhood regarding the parking policy. I believe that once this unlawful parking policy is revoked, things will improve.

lol. FC is obsessed about which “garage” people park their cars in.

. Given that city regulations require ungaraged units to have two assigned parking spaces on HOA common areas, I believe you should re-evaluate your focus. 🥱 🥱 😦

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

An executive director employed in DC should have the wherewithal to buy a house with a garage or a driveway.

I can't believe this thread is still going. I don't care about gay sons or even particularly about PY but as I see it:

The HOA assigned common areas as parking spots that only some people get, even though everyone pays HOA fees. They should not have assigned these.

Part 2: The lawyers for the HOA are loving that they are getting paid to pull this stunt because it's so obviously wrong and won't stand in court.

I also don't care about the complaint getting posted (though I would like cliff's notes) but when will this go to court?

I just want to FF and find out the verdict. This is like a bad Netflix show I can't quit.

You failed to mention how the HOA board President is benefiting from the unlawful parking policy.

HOA BP doesn't have a reserved spot for her exclusive use?

Does her employer know what is going on here?
