Covenants, associations, and rules, oh my!

There is a forum for the Fremont Lofts, where we almost moved in Worcester. We are becoming quite glad we escaped the clutches of a condo association. I've never seen such a group of whiners trying to control every aspect of everyone's lives. The funny thing is, this is from a bunch of the most liberal people on the planet. Here's a sample from a long complaint about the only kid in the entire complex having neighborhood kids over to play:

"Nicely ask the neighborHOOD kids to play in the grave yard and not our parking lot. I would do this myself, but living on the first floor, I would like to attract as little negative attention from the neighborHOOD as possible."

Yes, they did suggest the kids play in the cemetery next door to the complex! BTW, nobody forced them to move into a marginal neighborhood in the first place. Things like this are what protect me from accidentally becoming a yuppy!

I guess we will go back to quiet suburban life, a house with no attached neighbors, and no homeowners associations!
