Summers are hot here in Phoenix. While the BBC shrieks hysterically about highs approaching 92° in Britain, we cleared 111° six times last week. It is so hot that David Martin of suburban Goodyear sets out free water bottles for passers-by:
‘It’s really for the drivers, for the families, it’s for the kids,’ he told 12 News. ‘It’s to do something positive in a world that needs it.’
His reward:
[I]n the five years since Martin began the gesture that endeared him to neighbors, he’s also racked up several $100 fines from his homeowners association (HOA) – all for ‘advertising’ the free refreshments in his own driveway.
By “advertising,” they mean that his cooler full of free bottles of cold water can be seen from neighboring properties.
Martin responded with a sign on the water reading, “Please grab a free water! Even you, HOA.”
He is ready to take the issue to court on principle. Let’s hope he can afford it. Resistance to petty tyranny wards off broader despotism.
The problem with HOAs is the same one often encountered with school boards and government in general. Those with the time and inclination to impose their will on others are the last ones who should be put in a position to do so. They may even be moonbat martinets.
On a tip from 100 Bravo.
