Collapses when it's cold, collapses when it's hot, collapses when it's a clear spring day with zero wind...

silicone thrills posted:Was watching the latest john oliver (yeah i know) on HOAs and there was a tidbit about an hoa that put speed cameras in and while I absolutely loathe HOAs, i found the anger by everyone at the 15mph neighborhood speed limit actually being enforced with high fines to be hilarious. I saw that episode and didn't think he was giving a tacit approval of cars vrooming through neighborhoods. I think he was illustrating how these HOAs have privatized government and have no oversight. He was also making it clear that the HOAs become predatory once the maintenance bills come due for waterlines, roads, and other utilities.

Here in MN there are all sorts of restrictions on what HOAs can do, and attorneys that specialize in that kind of law. But if his video is just about detached home HOAs, then yes gently caress them. people usually don't distinguish the two. I might actually be in a condo association, not an HOA, which is legally different apparently actionjackson has issued a correction as of 00:19 on Apr 16, 2023 |

I took it as him being like CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GIVE A 250$ TICKET TO SOMEONE GOING 16MPH Like I agreed with everything else in the episode because gently caress HOAs but lol at that being a sticking item among all the other things.

 Just posting my progress with my tandem cargo carrier I've converted it to 1x and have been riding round with a spare seat just sent how awkward the extra size makes it. It rides really well so far so I'm thinking I'm on to something Long-term , I have access to a metal/wood workshop and will be adding a flatbed with folding crates onto the back I'm basically going to make the Kei van of bicycles

Where I live the cameras don't go off until you're at least 11 mph over the limit, but the drivers whining about tickets will never, ever acknowledge that. It's always "aw gosh you go a teensy bit over and they get you," never "poo poo, yeah, i guess going almost twice the speed limit was maybe a problem"
