Should HOAs be banned?
(discuss.online)
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?
I didn't buy anything. I'm renting a room from the owners. They bought the house. I have no say in anything and this is the only place I could find that meets my needs of price and room to store my shit so I have to deal with it or move.
I just think it's a stupid rule. Get off my back.
Ok that makes more sense. I apologize. I lived with my parents until I was 24 and they helped me buy a house. Granted it was only $51k in 2013.
