God I Hate Homeowner Associations....

i looked up some of the home values in the subdivision. plenty are above $400k, so my guess is they won't take too kindly to the idea of an above-ground pool.

Damn. My neighborhood is kind of average and 400k would be a steal (would pretty much have to be one cook short from being condemned and then they're just buying to infill). And all the pools are above ground (as in you blow it up or it was delivered in the back of your truck from Walmart). No slides unfortunately. Kiddie pools just aren't deep enough.

yeah, i want to do "more," but i also don't want to be figured out so soon. i think my next email is going to be completely innocuous and professional... except for a passing comment about another male board member being handsome or impressively masculine. i want the next email to be awkward but also worded in such a way that won't lead anyone to approach me in real life.

Claim the pool is open to the public with their permission and bring up a life guard position for the HOA. Or regulating hours being dawn to dusk and getting approval for signs and barriers. Maybe ask if towels can be provided by the HOA. Then ask for reimbursement for the dead grass when the pool is taken down.

I've checked my stats; looks like one house for $10,000,000 and then the other 25 houses are worth $25, so the math checks out. Heck, the above ground pool could also work as an apartment complex?

Dear Homeowners Association,
Thanks for the letter informing me my bushes needs to be trimmed:
