HOA的故事：HOA勒令房主必須要把門口聖誕節耶穌的裝飾字牌拿走，因為冒犯了某些鄰居

HOA是在美國上個世紀78十年代以後才流行的一個自發的組織。HOA是美國的一個 怪 胎。因為開發商開發小區時有一些公共設施需要大家共同的管理，所以每一個住戶購房時都會簽訂HOA的 憲 法 文件。豈不知這個文件簽完以後，每一屆的管委會都可以往裏加添他們願意加添的任何內容，結果就像天 朝 的 憲 法一樣。幾十年發展下來，美國很多有HOA的房子都 臭 不 可 聞，不光住戶的財產權受到嚴重侵害，其他的個 人自 由，利益也受到嚴重傷害。HOA的管理人員相當於 天 朝 的 城 管，真的是不 可一世。這裏是一個最近的例子：

Bah humbug: Pennsylvania family ordered to take down Jesus Christmas display after neighbor said it was 'offensive'

• Mark and Lynn Wivell of Adams County put up their festive 'Jesus' sign last week
• A neighbor complained to the home owners association that they were 'offended' by the sign
• The HOA told the Wivells they need to take it down, and that it's really a sign- not a decoration, which is against the association's rules  
• The Wivells are standing by their display and say they won't be taking it down until all decorations need to come dow

 

'Tis the season to get offended. A Pennsylvania family has been ordered to take down a Christmas sign that reads 'JESUS' after a neighbor complained they were offended by the decoration.

Mark and Lynn Wivell of Adams County, a Gettysburg subdivision, was told to take down their display that they put up last week by their homeowner's association.

'As part of our Christmas decoration, we would display the name Jesus to point out to everyone that we in this family believe that the reason for the season is to celebrate the birth of Jesus,' said Mark told FOX43.

JESUS: Mark and Lynn Wivell's neighbor complained that this festive missive was offensive, now their homeowners association says they need to take it down

 

The association told the family that the Christmas display specifically went against the rules. Residents are disallowed from displaying signs, and the HOA said the festive missive was not in fact a decoration.

'After taking a look at it, it isn't in accordance with normal Christmas decorations,' Bud Vance, the HOA president told the Gettysburg Times. 

'We have ordinances with regard to Christmas decorations, and my Christmas decorations comply with the HOA ordinances on Christmas decorations,' Wivell argued to Fox 43.
