[Towertalk] deed restrictions

[Kevin Adam Webz By Design]

Here in Fort Wayne Indiana we have what is called neighborhood code in
force ment now they take to attack my towers here on my property they
say I have to remove my towers so I have got name ga stoppo police
because they gave them police powers now they can even com into my home
check what temp my bathroom is kept at. They say it must be 68F degrees
get this if this is not Nazis isum then we are all in trouble. When I
was in the US Army I Swore to up hold the constitution of the united
states but this goes to far they come in tell me I can't have my towers
in my yard that own my names on the deed not the city of fort wayne in.
they act like I'm renting from them.
Sucks bigs time now have to move to avoid going to war and sh____t the
asshole.
Dam code Nazis.

I'm afraid I have to side with K3AIR. Homeowners associations are not
good 
for amateur radio. His case is one that helps prove the point. If you
don't 
want the HOA to ban your activity you better be on the HOA board. If I 
liked sitting through meetings and telling other people what they could
or 
couldn't do I might like to spend my time on an HOA board. However, I
like 
to contest, work DX, build antennas & towers, engage in public service 
activities and just sit and talk to folks on the radio. Luckily I bought
a 
home over 20 years ago in about the last place in town without deed 
restrictions and CC&R's. If I move again, I know it will have to be into

the country where I can build towers if I want. Even if I have to start
my 
own development. Only CC&R there would be "no homeowners association"!
The 
last ting I want or need is someone telling my what color to paint my
house 
or telling me I have to park my car in the garage or , as someone 
mentioned, NO POWER TOOLS. How could a self respecting DIY ham submit to
that?

No I don't think Nazis is an appropriate term, but I can't think of
another 
term near strong enough to describe these people. So I vote to let it
stand.
