One of the most sickening things about Scottsdale HOAs and the miserable losers who run them is their policy of banning seemingly anything that residents want. This was epitomized after the 9/11 attacks when Scottsdale homeowners were being fined for flying American flags and the Arizona Legislature had to step in to put a stop to it. Pathetic. F*cking pathetic. And Scottsdale residents have no one to blame but themselves for their continued indifference in just sitting back and taking it.
When I first moved to Scottsdale I was shocked and disappointed by the total lack of decorations on houses. Then I moved to Phoenix, and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of decorating I saw.
So, if you live in Scottsdale, does your HOA allow lights? And if it does not, are you laying back and taking it like the typical lazy indifferent Scottsdale resident, or are you fighting back - including suing for your freedoms of speech and religion?
I'm happy to report that the decorating in my new town of residence is completely in the spirit and over the top, more so than even in the Northeast where I grew up! I mean, the quality and quantity of lights on houses around here is just insane. (Granted, a lot of people here simply call a service to come decorate their homes, but hey, at least they're doing it!)
I grew up in a city where the resident, business owners and city put up displays for the various holidays. After moving to Arizona I was amazed at how little anyone does for any holiday. Its the typical I don't care half ass attempt you see with most things in this state.
As for hoa's and those subject to their petty rules. If your dumb enough to buy property somewhere they are going to treat you like a child and boss you around I can't feel sorry for you. You signed the paper work agreeing to move into the concentration camp you are subject to its rules.

Exactly.
Scottsdale, in particular, is full of the laziest of the lazy ass liberal do-nothing lounge lizards!
