Oh man, the media agreement had us looking at every napalm earth option with things like "if we disbanded the HOA, then what?" (because the language says "Community Name and successors," it'd have been a net loss to disband as anything we did to attempt to get out was as a group vs as individuals including the liability protections that a LLC can provide vs various individuals). It's kind of crazy how ingrained it has become as a concept. In our town, supposedly (second hand info so grain of salt), one of the neighborhoods that sprung up without a HOA was pretty bad from the onset with poor maintenance on various houses (to the point of cardboard over broken glass windows) and the town somehow passed a requirement that all new developments belong to a HOA. Not sure the veracity of that (though I can confirm the spottiness of the neighborhood in question because they're adjacent from ours), but unfortunately it seems things are going more towards everything HOA route (outside of maybe buy a bunch of land on the outskirts of town and build a house. Which good luck with high speed internet and the like unless you're willing to pay to get them to install in your area). I see pros and cons to HOAs, though even while the one I'm in isn't bad, I still am not a fan of them generally.
