    That’s great news. I hope it passes (this time) but I don’t have very much hope. There’s no money in it for the politicians.

    I believe you don’t understand the HOA concept thoroughly. One can’t be forced into a contract here in America. If an HOA “moves into” your neighborhood, they can’t opt you in. You either opt in voluntarily, or you are grandfathered (exempt). If you sell the house, the NEW owner is opted into the HOA by the covenants and restrictions (C&R) added to his deed, and his deed will reflect the HOA C&R’s. An HOA cannot modify your deed C&R’s without your consent and approval. It’s called “grandfathering”.

    The only way you can join an HOA (in America) against your will is if you (or your lawyer) didn’t read those 222,302 pages we all sign when we close on our home.

    I own a rental home in Raleigh. Bought it 30 years ago….25 years before the new HOA gestapo came to town. The HOA paid my lawyer some “tuition” to educate them on grandfathering a couple years ago because I have (had since 2004) two storage barns in the backyard instead of the “only one, less than 100 square feet in size” the HOA “allows”. Now they hate me but I haven’t heard a peep from them in years after they graduated his HOA class. 🙂

    Until you sell your home, Sir, an HOA can’t enforce their rules on you unless you’ve voluntarily joined their organization.

Bias is a tendency to favor or lean towards one perspective, person, or group, often at the expense of another. Bias can be conscious or unconscious (implicit) and can influence judgment, decision-making, and behavior. Unlike prejudice, which is explicitly about preconceived notions, biases can be more subtle and can even occur without the individual being fully aware of them. Bias is broader and can be positive or negative, affecting various aspects of life like decision-making in work, preferences in social settings, etc. Bias is basically a difference of opinion and that must be respected. Prejudice, however, refers to negative, preconceived opinions or attitudes held by an individual or group towards another group or individual, often without factual basis or experience. Prejudices are usually harmful, leading to unfair treatment or discrimination. They are often based on stereotypes and can be about race, gender, religion, nationality, or any other distinguishing characteristic. Prejudice is more about feelings and attitudes. Ham Community does not tolerate prejudice. We are all different, that's fine. Remember, duty and honor are built on respect. Use this reporting category sparingly and only if you are quite certain that the member is being openly and hurtfully prejudiced.
