HOA halts construction of paralyzed Army Vet's home because

[telecom_goddess]

I've said it before and I will say it again...HOA's SUCK and need to go away. All they care about are bullshit rules that just make people's lives hell. Telling you what color paint you can use, what can be in your windows, what type of grass to plant, how green it has to be, on and on and on. Fuck that. If I want to own a house ...like it was mentioned earlier, I will not be micromanaged about it. It would be MINE and I will do with it what I want barring activities that need permits from the city.

Geeze.

But the fact is he does live there and it is his house, WTF, so his kids can have an upstairs room he is never able to go into and play with them? is the HOA gonna put in an elevator for him? I mean really if one is unable to use stairs it would make sense if they are BUILDING a house they going to make it the way that benefits their abilities or tastes. telling a paralyzed person they need to put up a second floor is insulting, vet or not!

I'm not seeing where they did say he HAD to build a second floor, just that they would have preferred if his house had one. There is a big difference. While asking him to is still somewhat of an asshole move, it's not a requirement. It's the equivalent of a random neighbor saying "I wish your house was blue". Well that's nice but just as in this case, it's your choice. Did it state anywhere that the lack of second floor was stopping him from building his house? From what I read, they would have preferred bigger, but the HOA flat out stated that the square footage of his house was within the requirements.
