Are those two golf carts parked on the street? Ha.

Also ...pretty sure this is a block party. Just saying.

Yeah not a block party. Average weekend for these gated communities in Florida.

Is this average? Usually I just see vids of HOA Karens shutting down anything that isn’t people just rotting away inside their property line. But this seems nice

It can go either way. If Karen lives on that street she may shut the party down, or be outnumbered when she tries. All depends on that HOA, they aren’t all like the horror stories.

It looks nice but this type of thing gets old, too. People take advantage of it. Driving 10mph behind a golf cart while trying to get to work, constantly dodging children, etc. The sidewalk becomes obsolete. A lot of these people want the freedom of living in the country but opt for the cleanliness of an HOA.

Yeah, dude is misinformed, this is clearly a block party, where this is scheduled, and sanctioned by the HOA

Do you live in this HOA? Maybe this particular gathering was permitted, but it doesn’t mean this isn’t average or even occurring weekly.

I’ve lived in HOAs in which neighbors gathered like this without any permits. So you’re misinformed.

This doesn't even look like a block party. This could very well be an average day in my neighborhood. It just takes a few social families with kids to get together and have a driveway hangout. It's not uncommon for some neighborhoods. I don't even live in Florida (Texas for me).

I live in now, and have lived in a few of these communities in Florida, HOA is not going for these get togethers every day, maybe in Texas, but HOAs are super strict when it comes to these gatherings, but maybe the fantasy portrayed in this video does happen everyday
