Hi, It's me. I'm the Hoodey, it's me.

Edition 0

Howdy and welcome to Hoodey, where we dive into the thrilling world of property management and the never-ending saga of why your neighbor's mailbox is the wrong shade of beige. Pour yourself a strong cup of coffee – you'll need it.

📃 The State of the Union (No, Not That One)

Surprise, surprise: HOAs are everywhere! With over 355,000 associations nationwide, you can't throw a non-regulation basketball hoop without hitting one. They're like mushrooms after rain, popping up in 75% of new developments. But instead of fungi, we're growing committees dedicated to measuring grass length with rulers.

📱 Tech Talk: Welcome to the 21st Century

Breaking news: HOAs are finally discovering computers! Yes, you read that right (as both promising and scary as that sounds). That stack of papers threatening to topple over your desk can now live in the magical realm known as "the cloud." Property management software is up 40% this year, meaning fewer trees died for violation notices. Progress!

⚖ Legal Corner: Adventures in Bureaucracy

Recent court decisions remind us that yes, HOAs need to follow laws (shocking, we know). Boards nationwide are frantically flipping through their dusty bylaws, realizing that maybe, just maybe, banning pink flamingos isn't their biggest priority anymore.

⏭ Where do we go from here?

In future editions, we'll explore burning questions like:

- How many board members does it take to change a light bulb? (Answer: Three committees and two special sessions)

- Why your neighbor's wind chimes are absolutely destroying property values

- The definitive guide to passive-aggressive community bulletin board notices

But really, we will be giving extremely valuable insights and information…but be fun to read… unlike DCC&Rs.
