HOA to evict 6-year old

Maybe they figured that for the first year or two, the INFANT....

Never mind.

Why not? You're doing the exact same thing.

Probably when the ogres told them they would have to get out.

That is one of the options mentioned in the news.

Of course, today's society blames everyone else for their problems.

Beside the point. They had 6 years to sell it or find alternative arrangements for the kid they KNEW was there illegally from the getgo.

He wouldn't. He would only be in a position to either tell the grandparents the kid had to have alternative placement or the GP could maintain custody of the kid elsewhere. How the gp's worked it out would be up to them.

Fine. Then you can find a home in an area that allows children. But what you are saying is that this annoys YOU and so no one should be able to live they way they want to.

Steve,

What is a reserve study and what's the purpose? I noticed you mentioned this before and was curious.

OK.

Not even close. The grandparents bought it VOLUNTARILY in an area where they knew the restrictions ahead of time. No one told them they HAD to buy in area with these restrictions.

AIUI, the law currently provides a tax reduction to developments which prohibit children. If they then allow children they would lose their tax exemption. That's all. No change in the law required, no change in the system, just a different tax rate for a place that decides to accept children.

This won't be a secret. It will be known and discussed before they vote on it.

Maybe they shouldn't make such a change if anyone objects to it, or if two people do, but otoh, what if no one objects and some want it. What if things change and they can't sell homes anymore because buyers only want homes that take children. Who knows? But they certainly shouldn't be stuck forever with the original rules if (almost?) everyone wants to change them.

I enjoy the laughter (and whining and crying and outright noise and sometimes vandalism) of children, but I want to do it on my own terms now. I would imagine that is why people moved into that neighborhood in the first place. Things being the way they are today, I never would have moved there, because I know the minute that someone didn't want to follow the rules, they'd be whining for an exception. Buy land for your retirement, build in the middle of it, nobody to bother you then. :-)

Whether or not you have childrenin school, or did have them at one time, moving into a senior housing community does not exempt you from statel school taxes, at least, not here in NYS. I'm 72, and the youngest of my children is 30 years old. I still pay state school taxes. Are senior citizens exempt from state school taxes in your state?

There is a time period that kids (or others under 55) are allowed, usually some weeks or months. They may have been trying to come up with a solution or were figuring it was a temporary situation.

Yes, they are breaking the rules, but if it was my granddaughter, I'd be keeping here too.

Don't despair. Maybe he will graduate soon. Or at least he can get a high school equivalency certificate.

I had the impression in at least one state, they paid a lower property tax rate.

If there were a little less of breaking the rules going on in the world today, perhaps the grandparents wouldn't be raising the granddaughter in the first place. Just a thought.

If you had an infant in your care and you commited a felony, say armed robbery. Could you tell the judge that you don't want to put the child in foster care so he shouldn't send you to prison? Your logic is warped.

Most of us here do provide the funds, through school taxes, for education and all other expenses, at least I have for my 4 kids. I never received any money for unemployment, or welfare, or even food stamps. I did have to get federal school funding which I have repaid,. plus the interest they charged.
