Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show,
proll kind.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Of neighborhood you live in?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
But you know there are these HOA controlled neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yes, right, I know, Frog, you live in an HOA neighborhood,
right I do? Yeah? I mean where you know you
buy the house. It's a nice neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
You know, families, you know, whatever, it's it's whatever, and
the HOA is supposed to keep it clean, keep it together.
If someone doesn't mow the yard or they have a
you know, a car out in the front yard for
a couple of years and they make him move it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Right.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well, I was looking at this whatever online on Instagram.
I think it's in the nine five fours, so in
like Fort Lauderdale.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Ok.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
This guy had a birthday party at his house, an event, right,
and there were three black SUVs parked out front and
they and the windows were all all you know, blacked
out and everything. He got an email from the HOA.
Did you see this?
Speaker 5 (00:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hey, just like, let me read this. This is why
I would never live in one of these neighborhoods. I
hope you're doing well. I wanted to reach out regarding
an incident that occurred over the weekend at your birthday party.
A few of us in the community couldn't help but
notice the arrival of three blacked out SUVs, which quite
frankly startled and un settled several.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Of your neighbors startled.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
What it goes on to say, it's really concerning to
see echuch vehicles showing up in our otherwise peaceful, family
oriented neighborhood, especially without any prior notice. As you can imagine,
the sight of them raised a lot of questions and
caused quite a bit of anxiety. Some residents even thought
something more serious was happening. The whole situation was quite
(01:40):
honestly alarming, and we had no idea how to react.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
You did react, you said a stupid email.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
He exactly. I mean, what kind of neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I They don't even they don't even want black cars
in the neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
It's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I know, I know. Look, you know, and you and
some of these videos.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I think a lot of people will use their ring
camera to catch the hoa people coming in. You gotta
get this ivy off your front porch. It's a little
it's against HOA rules. No, So, Nate, aren't your parents
having a little HOA drama right now?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Yes, yes, there's HOA drama because the HOA didn't inform
the residence of a.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Pickleball court that was just installed. My dad was doing.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
He's like, yeah, they were building this thing next to
the you know, the picnic area, And I got your
mother to measure it with the measuring tape and we
found out it's a pickleball court. What Like, that's a
huge drop ball, Like, who what's a pickleball court in
their nick?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's like one hundred yards from my parents house. I'm
gonna even hear that.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well, look, I understand the importance of some HOA organizations.
I get it right, But you know, I don't know.
It's just this is what America has come to. It's
kind of weird. Yeah, Frog.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
So we had a huge problem here in uh An Jacksonville.
There was a guy that lived in a total different neighborhood.
He wanted to put a sidewalk along beside his house.
But I guess for some reason that's not allowed. I
don't know what the reason is. It's not allowed to
put a sidewalk within so many feet of the property line.
He drove through other neighborhoods, not even his own, other
(03:18):
neighborhoods in that town and took pictures and addresses and
turned everybody in. It was just the county because he
was bitter because he couldn't do it, and all those
people got letters d It was. It was ugly.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It was really really ugly, JOHNDI, have you ever lived
in an HOA neighborhood?
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Yeah, Brandon is in one right now, and there's Drom
over there because he's been in that house for years
and he just got a notice that said, oh, the
color of the porch is wrong. This is your first
warning after the first morning. You'll be fine every week
until it spakes like, oh my god, the porch when
he moved in.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I don't understand what means.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
What frog, If you bought the house that way legal,
you don't have to change, at least in Florida.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I don't know what the rule is there.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
Okay, But because the HOA signs off when you buy
the house, when the bill of sale's done, whatever they
sign off on you are allowed to keep. They have
approved that house for sale, and therefore you were in
grandfather did no to self.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
They also play hard to get. They'll email you, but
they'll never write back when you email them.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Also up at a meeting. Don't think I won't. I
will be there today the afternoon, no problem.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I like, like I said before, I mean, I can
understand the thought behind the HOA. I don't think I
ever want to really live in an Hoay neighborhood. I mean,
I just depend on my neighbors. Just do the right thing, right.
You know, if someone down the street can't mow their yard,
maybe it's an elderly person.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You know, have some people go knock old er and say, hey,
do you need some help?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You know, if you if we have someone you know
in our family, my kid, he mows yards, if you
want them to come down once a week to mow
your yard. I mean, but to walk up to someone
or send them a letter say we're going to start
finding you. Oh my god, here in your neighborhood. Like
a house should be a home, not a house, you
know what I'm saying. There's a difference. But you sign
(05:04):
that agreement, right, You sign that Hoa agreement, and and
you know you're subject to their laws and and buy
laws and rules, right, It's true. What's scary.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Even though I live in an apartment building, they act
like the hoa people because they set rules and we're
not allowed to have anything outside on our doors. We
can't we're not allowed to put doormats outside the apartment
building doors.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
And I can't put a wreath at Christmas. And when
Devaley came, forget about it. They put all these decorations
outside the doors. People were like calling, you know, calling
everybody that they're saying, no, I'm complaining to the management.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
If I can't have my Christmas wreath, you can't have
your Devaley.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
I know.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, it turns into a thing.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
There's a there's a great couple with the kid down
the hallway and everyone smiled, okay, and they bike around
the city whatever. You know, everyone smiled. The kid will leave,
they'll leave the bike in the hall or the live
their shoes by the door.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Whatever. I don't care. And I mean, I mean, if
there's a.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Problem, you know, I'm whatever, there's no problem. I mean,
they're just living their lives. They have a kid, dirt,
they have dirty shoes. They don't want them an apartment
Who cares it?
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Was a lady in my old neighborhood. She would walk
around with a clipboard. She would write down if your
garbage came with outside past however, man the hours, when
the garbage man came, she would write down and turn
it in. That is all she did, walk around with
her little clipboard. I know who you are, Liz.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I think my friend has that same lady in her
neighborhood down the shore, because oh yeah, over like the winter.
You know, they do a lot of improvements, and there's
certain things you're not supposed to do, but you can
get away with, like outdoor shower and like digging too
deep under your porch. And I'm pretty sure that same
lady walks around with the measuring tape. This person is
(06:51):
doing this, this person is doing that. She sends them
all out.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
To inspect her. Can you vote those people out?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well, I guess you could. I mean, if you know,
if enough people you know have a problem with it.
Here in New York City, we have a thing called
the co op. We have the co op, which is
there's two different types of apartment you can buy. You
can buy a condo and a co op. The condo
is like a regular apartment you go in, you buy
the apartment in the building, and you know, whatever the
co op, you have to be approved by a board
(07:20):
in the building. They can be the most awful, racist,
mean people. They can keep you up for whatever reason,
and they don't have to tell you why. Legally, they
don't have to tell you why. And so I was
trying to buy in a co op building one time,
and I'm like, no, I don't think I want to
live in a community where they can dictate how I
live my life. Why would I live there? Say, with
(07:41):
these HOA people, you and your clipboards go away.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Out here.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I know, geez.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Anyway, so I love that letter. I tell, how dare
you have blacked out windowed SUVs in front of your house?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I really, I know in windows.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I guess the people the neighborhood thought the FBI was
there and they're investigating something.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know, you need more hobbies. People need hobbies in
this world. I wonder if Diddy was in an h
o A neighborhood. I doubt it. Anyway, let's get into
the horoscopes.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
