Can you give me a list? I actually do know of a few master planned communities like that but they number in the dozens nationwide and most are special purpose retirement communities. I've yet to see a person claim that it is impossible to buy a non-HOA home anywhere in commuting distance of their job actually name such a place. I'm pretty confident they don't actually exist and this is a way of people who want to have their cake and eat it too to throw a tantrum that they can't move into a neighborhood where everyone but them are bound by an HOA. I don't know where you live but if it is in the US and you're not retired, I'm fairly confident that I could find a non-HOA property that exists in your area. I've issued this challenge hundreds of times and have had zero people successfully name such a place. What usually happens is they come up with other disqualifiers like "That's a bad school district", "That's a high crime area" or "I don't like the style of houses there", which are reasonable criteria but is not the same thing as it being impossible to find a house not in an HOA. And of course there are the other options: buy land and build on it, or move somewhere else. But people feel entitled to force themselves on others without their consent. Every owner in an HOA consented to being in the HOA. Prohibiting them from forming an HOA of consenting owners is you taking away their ability to consent.
