Banned is maybe too far, but why should we as a country allow people to have petty power over meaningless things their neighbors do? Could we ban HOAs from being included in house sales, and every time it’s sold the new owners have to opt in?
For the most part, I’m wondering about this in the context of single family homes since for homes like condos, you could make the case that HOAs are useful for shared things like roofs and whatnot. Maybe limit mandatory HOA involvement to things like what’s truly necessary and shared and not how tall your grass is?
This is a really good suggestion.
A shared maintenance cost for very specific things like the community center, garbage pick-up, the roads, etc., is a great idea.
They’ve just figured out a way to be racist and get rid of neighbors they don’t like. They should be remade at the very least.
