I wonder if the love/hate opinion on HOAs boils down to that, i.e. some like forcing others to their way of thinking, and others are very opposed to such things.
- compiler-guy 5y agoI don't think it is about forcing others to their own way of thinking. Rather, I think it is about having a community that works according to one's own vision of the good life. Some people want to live in Bohemia; some people want to live in vibrant cities; some people want to live in places where all the lawns are nicely manicured and Billy Bob down the street can't have his car up on blocks and Jennifer next door can't have a stream of cars showing up for her private pilates class. The world is filled with many different kinds of people, with many different visions of the good life. Just because one particular vision doesn't match mine doesn't mean it should be banned or destroyed, or that they are terrible people.
