Hot take: HOA fines for grass height are out of control, but my neighbor made a good point
Last month in Marietta, my HOA hit me with a $75 fine because my lawn hit 5 inches after two weeks of rain. My neighbor across the street, Dave, said "rules keep property values up" and pointed out his lawn service costs $40 a visit. But honestly, who can keep up with that when you work 50 hours a week? Are fines really the answer, or should HOAs send a warning first like they did back in 2019?

Man, this same thing happens everywhere now, not just lawns. You miss one payment by a day or park two inches over the line and boom, fee. It's like we traded neighbors who talked to each other for rulebooks and fines. Dave's not wrong about property values, but a warning costs nothing and keeps the peace.
