BUGSVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE -- TITLE 7: PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Our Mission
The BugsVille Homeowners Association exists to ensure that our city remains a beautiful, functional, and welcoming place for all residents. We believe that every citizen deserves neighbors who care about their property as much as they care about their own.
These guidelines aren't here to crush your creativity — they're here to make sure BugsVille looks like a thriving metropolis and not the aftermath of a natural disaster. Build bold. Build beautiful. Just don't build floating.
*Zero tolerance for gravity-defying architecture. Creativity is encouraged. Physics violations are not.
Property Guidelines
The official standards every BugsVille property owner must follow
Parking & Access
Section 1 -- Municipal Property Code
All properties must maintain adequate parking and clear access for residents, visitors, and emergency services. Your teleport point is your front door — treat it like one.
Maintain at least one clear parking space near your property teleport point. If someone teleports to your place, they should be able to park without playing Tetris.
Do not block roads, sidewalks, or neighboring driveways with placed objects, vehicles, or decorations. The fire department needs to get through.
Emergency vehicle access is not optional. If the BFD can't reach your building, that's a code violation.
Visitors should be able to find your property and park without needing a treasure map and a prayer.
Structural Integrity
Section 2 -- Municipal Property Code
BugsVille has laws of physics, and the HOA expects you to follow them. If your building looks like it was assembled by a tornado, we need to talk.
No floating buildings or structures that defy gravity. If it wouldn't stand up in real life, it shouldn't stand up here.
No stacking buildings on top of each other in ways the building system didn't intend. This isn't a Jenga tournament.
No clipping structures into terrain, roads, or other buildings. Your living room should not phase through a mountain.
Build within the intended building system. If you have to exploit a glitch to make it work, it's not meant to work.
City Beautification
Section 3 -- Municipal Property Code
BugsVille is a city people are proud to call home. Your property is part of the skyline. Make it count.
Properties should look presentable and intentional. This is a city, not a scrapyard. Put some thought into your build.
No chaotic eyesore constructions cluttering up downtown or residential areas. If it looks like a dumpster fire, it probably is one.
We encourage landscaping, tasteful decoration, and general neighborhood pride. Plant a tree. Add a fence. Make it look like someone lives there who cares.
Keep the vibe: BugsVille should look like a place people want to move to, not flee from. Your neighbors have to look at your property too.
General Property Conduct
Section 4 -- Municipal Property Code
Owning property in BugsVille is a privilege, not a right. With great square footage comes great responsibility.
Citizens may own 1 property at a time. Choose wisely — this is real estate, not a monopoly board.
Keep your properties maintained. Abandoned, neglected, or half-finished builds drag down the neighborhood.
Respect neighboring properties. Don't build right up against someone else's walls or block their views. Good fences make good neighbors.
If you're no longer using a property, let the lease expire so another citizen can move in. Don't squat on prime real estate.
Enforcement & Consequences
What happens when the HOA comes knocking
Escalation Protocol
HOA ENFORCEMENT DIRECTIVE 7-B
The BugsVille HOA operates on a graduated enforcement model. We believe in second chances. And third chances. But Karen's patience has limits, and her clipboard has a lot of pages.
Friendly Reminder
A polite note from the HOA will be delivered to your property file. Think of it as a gentle nudge — a warm suggestion that perhaps your floating concrete cube doesn't quite meet community standards. No hard feelings. Yet.
A Visit from Karen
Karen from the HOA shows up at your door. She has a clipboard. She has a frown. She has a strongly worded letter printed in 14-point Times New Roman, double-spaced, with highlighted sections. She will measure your lawn with a ruler. She will count your parking spaces. She will photograph your property from 17 different angles. She will judge your curtain color choices. You have been warned.
HOA Tribunal
A formal review is convened by the BugsVille HOA Board. Your neighbors will be called to testify. Karen will present a 47-slide PowerPoint presentation documenting every violation, complete with before-and-after renders of what your property could look like "if you just tried a little." There will be pie charts. The pie charts will be damning.
Eviction
Failure to comply after repeated warnings will result in property seizure and eviction by the BugsVille Housing Authority. Your belongings will be placed neatly on the curb in clearly labeled boxes. A "CONDEMNED" sign will be posted. Karen will wave goodbye from your former porch, clipboard in hand, already filling out the paperwork for the next tenant. The city thanks you for your brief residency.
"The HOA doesn't sleep. The HOA doesn't forget. The HOA has Karen, and Karen has a very organized filing system."
-- Official BugsVille HOA Motto (voted on unanimously, Karen abstained citing "conflict of interest")
