Please tell me how I can just strip deed restrictions simply because I don't like them and/or they're inconvenient for me.
Deed restrictions are the mechanism that basically all HOAs are built upon so if you can just skirt around them because $reasons there are millions of people who would like to know.
- stronglikedan 4mo ago> Please tell me how I can just strip deed restrictions simply because I don't like them and/or they're inconvenient for me. Easy - be a municipality. There's a reason the phrase "can't fight city hall" exists, and is for the most part universally true.
- cogman10 4mo agoYeah, city law can easily override deed laws. But further, eminent domain allows the city to strip away deed restrictions through a "one weird trick". The city can eminent domain the land from themselves removing the restriction and then sell it privately. The same way the city can eminent domain your home and put a road through it. The HOA can't stop the city from putting in a new road.
- IAmBroom 4mo agoCan they do so retroactively? If they didn't declare imminent domain beforehand, I'd expect this is contract violation. But we're all guessing at Lawyer Facts(tm).
- msandford 4mo agoAren't deed restrictions usually done at the state level? If so, the city can't just magic them away. State law is going to trump city law unless the city's restrictions are tighter.
- Avicebron 4mo agoSo, the threat of violence (police/legal) if you complain about members of city hall lining their pockets with data center contracts.
- like_any_other 4mo agoDig up the names and addresses of the public officials responsible for that decision and watch the phrase disintegrate.
