But what if, after you’ve settled in, your neighbor decides to transform their house in a way that becomes quite an eyesore?
One individual residing in a suburban area of Austin, Texas, has found himself facing criticism for adorning his house in a vibrant shade reminiscent of Pepto-Bismol, which has stirred up some discontent among local residents. In many U.S. neighborhoods, there is typically a Homeowners Association (HOA) in place to maintain a sense of visual consistency among homes and contribute to the welfare of the community. However, Emilio Rodriguez, a resident of Pflugerville, Texas, deliberately chose a house without an HOA, granting him the freedom to realize his vision of a pink paradise. This unconventional choice has, however, sparked tensions with his neighbors.
“I cherish this home. It’s a mystery to me why some folks don’t share my enthusiasm,” Emilio shared with CBS17. When Emilio first acquired his house, it sported a beige exterior, but now, it’s bathed in his favorite color, and he has intentions to extend the Pepto-Bismol pink makeover to more parts of his abode. For Emilio, the color pink is a source of joy.
While his neighbors express their dissatisfaction with the pink hue adorning his house and express concerns about its potential impact on property values in the vicinity, Emilio, who is bound to a wheelchair following a car accident and numerous health challenges, contends that the color of his house brings him immense happiness.
