“Littleash”, that was truly insensitive and harsh of you to say. Do you think most people who are going through tough situations are sitting in their rears! That was so judgmental and rude to say, my plea for sympathy was based on people who I have helped and are working multiple jobs, sold most their belongings, have had help from family!! I only hope that you would not go through what these people have been through and experience that it is much harder than it seems and the struggles are greater when children are involved. As far as Hamlet, I support them 100% and I am confident that the screw up was not theirs...as they came out several times correcting peoples yards, because the HOA added additional landscaping guidelines before people closing on their homes or shortly after. The “nasty” notification we received from the HOA was sent to us in January 09, almost 2 yrs after most the homes here where built and closed on!! Pretty much saying your yards are wrong… fix it or pay up, oh and by the way you have until May 1, 09! These homes where inspected before closing by the HOA & HAMLET! So what right does the HOA have to go back almost 2 yrs after people have closed in their homes and expect Hamlet to fix it! I don’t think so! NOPE Hamlet is not at fault here either, as they are also battling with the HOA in trying to get this matter resolved. So either you work for the HOA or just have not been hit by it yet….good luck!
