In the Netherlands we have somewhat similar arrangement in appartement buildings.
Even the name is (translated) the same and operates like the described condo HOA from the article.
It’s annoying as fuck. We want to put up sun screens as our windows are facing south so in summer the house is an oven.
Nope can’t do, _everyone_ needs to agree that yes we can install them and what type and colour and whatnot.
We have to call a meeting for that, guess how many people show up?
Our next house is definitely not going to have such a thing if I can help it
- dalbasal 5y agoI've hear that villages in the netherlands have municipal (if that's the right term) policies in this vein, particularly picky about the colour of doors.
- sandermvanvliet 5y agoThere is indeed the “welstandscommissie”, no clue how to translate that. It’s meant to keep everything looking “nice and neat”. Depends a lot on what city/village it is but basically I think they try to avoid people painting their house purple or something.
