HOA是在美国上个世纪78十年代以后才流行的一个自发的组织。HOA是美国的一个 怪 胎。因为开发商开发小区时有一些公共设施需要大家共同的管理，所以每一个住户购房时都会签订HOA的 宪 法 文件。岂不知这个文件签完以后，每一届的管委会都可以往里加添他们愿意加添的任何内容，结果就像天 朝 的 宪 法一样。几十年发展下来，美国很多有HOA的房子都 臭 不 可 闻，不光住户的财产权受到严重侵害，其他的个 人自 由，利益也受到严重伤害。HOA的管理人员相当于 天 朝 的 城 管，真的是不 可一世。这里是一个最近的例子：

Bah humbug: Pennsylvania family ordered to take down Jesus Christmas display after neighbor said it was 'offensive'

• Mark and Lynn Wivell of Adams County put up their festive 'Jesus' sign last week
• A neighbor complained to the home owners association that they were 'offended' by the sign
• The HOA told the Wivells they need to take it down, and that it's really a sign- not a decoration, which is against the association's rules  
• The Wivells are standing by their display and say they won't be taking it down until all decorations need to come dow

'Tis the season to get offended. A Pennsylvania family has been ordered to take down a Christmas sign that reads 'JESUS' after a neighbor complained they were offended by the decoration.

Mark and Lynn Wivell of Adams County, a Gettysburg subdivision, was told to take down their display that they put up last week by their homeowner's association.

'As part of our Christmas decoration, we would display the name Jesus to point out to everyone that we in this family believe that the reason for the season is to celebrate the birth of Jesus,' said Mark told FOX43.

JESUS: Mark and Lynn Wivell's neighbor complained that this festive missive was offensive, now their homeowners association says they need to take it down

 

The association told the family that the Christmas display specifically went against the rules. Residents are disallowed from displaying signs, and the HOA said the festive missive was not in fact a decoration.

'After taking a look at it, it isn't in accordance with normal Christmas decorations,' Bud Vance, the HOA president told the Gettysburg Times. 

'We have ordinances with regard to Christmas decorations, and my Christmas decorations comply with the HOA ordinances on Christmas decorations,' Wivell argued to Fox 43.
