I think an argument against this is that the HOA follows the property, not the consumer. If I could opt out of an HOA when purchasing a home, it wouldn't be so bad. (but then again, the HOA would likely be severely weakened.)
- orthecreedence 6y agoThe same goes for overbearing counties and their permitting. If I could just shirk off the local regulations or they could be opt-in, the world would be a much different place. An HOA is effectively just a contractual micro-state, and conversely, some counties are a scaled HOA. That said, I agree with you. I think HOAs are stupid, at least in the context of telling people what their shrubs should look like or what color to paint their house.
