Hoas are great for master planned neighborhoods, that are gated and have a community pool. The funds go maintaining the landscaping, gate, streets, and pool
They should not be used for any communities that lack of those . The problem is they are built into new housing and it’s difficult to get rid of them.
The only people I’ve ever heard speak positively about HOAs are the ones causing problems for people within them. I’m not sure if that includes you, but it certainly paints my perception of this comment.
I lived in an HOA neighborhood for a year with no issues. I didn’t like the neighborhood because it was cookie cutter but the HOA never made any complaints to us.
Our driveway got plowed because of the HOA so that was nice.
Neighborhood was not very attractive in the sense that there were barely any trees in any of the yards.
I think it’s like plane crashes. We hear a lot about when things go wrong, but if it actually works, there’s nothing to talk about.
A friend’s grandmother lives in an HOA. She never has issues.
We should probably have the dues, complaints, charters, and whatnot be public to avoid some of the mystery. You wouldn’t move to a new state without being able to look up the constitution, other laws, or tax rates on a public site… (well you shouldn’t anyway). I don’t understand why we’ve decided it’s okay at the community level.

Of course a little old lady doesn’t have any issues - HOAs exist to make their lives easier. Why do you think they end up with rules like ‘dogs can’t bark after 10 PM’? Do you really think it’s a young person making that rule?
So your technique for breaking down ideas is to invoke an appeal to majority, and then be condescending about it?
Holy shit, I’m outmatched. It might take years for me to recover from the epic own I’ve just received.
I concede. There are countless other discussions that need your brave insights. It would be selfish to take up even one second more of your time. Godspeed.
My guy, it’s the literal next best thing to what you want - you can also go ahead and examine a generic HOA guideline.
For example, how you decorate your house, how long the grass on your lawn is, dogs barking too late. Want a different mailbox or to paint your house a different color? Run it by your HOA rep.
There are endless examples of insane rules that HOAs put on the people who live under them - yet here you are citing an anecdote and expecting me to do your homework for you. Fucks sake.

Yeah,…gated communities? Private pools? Really kinda showing their hand there.
I made the mistake once. Property values. These are investment communities and not homes.

Yeah, if that were the only thing I wrote, my contribution to this discussion would be complete garbage.
You have this, it’s called literally anyone and everyone online hating HOAs.
I can keep breaking down what you wrote, if you’d like.
