HOA Orders TARDIS Removed From In Front of Parrish Home

An anonymous reader writes A Florida couple learned that they are much bigger fans of Doctor Who than their homeowner association, after receiving a notice to remove the TARDIS from their driveway. Leann Moder and her husband David were given 15 days to get rid of the big blue box. From the article: "It was built by Moder's father as a wedding set piece, and she and her husband, David, were married in front of it. 'My husband mentioned, "Do you want to do a Doctor Who themed wedding?"' Moder said. 'That could be fun.' Since then, their TARDIS has been used at sci-fi conventions and parties, and was even the focus of a Halloween haunt the Moders set up on their driveway in October." The HOA had no comment on their stance on sonic screwdrivers, or the Eye of Harmony.

Conform or be expelled

The homeowners association demands that unless every single house has a TARDIS in their front yard, yours must go.

That's because HOA board members' heads are smaller on the inside.

That's your fault for buying a house in a Zerg area.

The HOA are a way to have European like snobbery, without complicated birthrights.

If you don't want to conform, don't buy a home there.

HOAs are completely up front about those things and if you don't read the bylaws before buying, you're a dumb motherfucker.

A compulsory regulation on your home that exists in nearly every neighborhood you could possibly buy in the town you live is in no way "Optional" In my opion HOA's should be illegal.

I would never sign an HOA, and when I buy a house that's usually a problem because there are very few houses in town that do not have them. On the bright side, they are not that hard to ruin should you so chose and not mind alienating your neighbors. There are always loopholes, and ways you can make your house so annoying they'll eventually relent and let you do what you want to do. For example, they cannot prevent the construction of an amateur radio tower unless it's unsafe. There are long and drawn out discussions out on the net about how to pull this off, so I'll not get into it. But if done correctly you have a giant geeky eysore up for under $1000

A fellow around here went to a lawyer and picked appart his HOA contract until he finally settled on blanketing his front yard with toilets. He put daisies in the bowl of each one and called them "Flower pots"

After hearing all that I almost wish I'd been stupid enough to sign one. I would thoroughly enjoy pranking them constantly.

House needs a few statues now . . .

Of course, a true Whovian will install some nice statues of weeping angels in the front yard!

That's not a threat, even if it is believed that they are ruthless killer aliens as the constant net curtain twitching that happens by the local busybodies will ensure the angels remain phase locked and can't hurt anybody...

Re: Remove the goddamn box

using words like doucey is just as douchey and should be cause for instant expultion from any proper HOA.
