In this week’s display of homeowners’ association idiocy, the Auburn Greens complex in Auburn, California is allegedly requiring all of its residents to keep their garage doors open during the week, all because one resident had people sleeping in their garage, Sacramento-based news channel KCRA 3 reports. Of all possible solutions to this “problem,” this HOA appears to have found the very dumbest.
Placer County residents living in Auburn Greens say this new HOA policy is unfair and puts their belongings at risk of being stolen. On-site manager closed the door as we pulled up, and the management company hasn’t returned our messages. Story at 5. pic.twitter.com/0cvuBMsy1W

This insanity comes to you from Placer County, California, where a homeowners’ association apparently posted notices on residents’ doors telling them of their requirement to keep garage doors open from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. Monday through Friday or to face “an immediate hearing notice and be subjected to a $200 fine.” An HOA board member, who said that the policy came into being after the neighborhood managers learned that people were actually living in one resident’s garage.
