I’ve tried to imagine buying a house with an attached HOA. I already have three layers of government, what does adding a fourth layer get me beside more busybodies telling me what (not) to do?
- karaterobot 5y agoNothing, but you can't get everything you want. It's fair to say the number of people who like HOAs is much lower than the number of people who are part of them. Having an HOA is a tradeoff many people are willing to make to get a home with other, more preferable qualities on a limited budget.
- lazide 5y agoPersonally I agree. Some areas it’s essentially impossible to get a home without an HOA however. Also, some folks like having a small army of busy bodies go after folks doing things that they don’t like.
- rcpt 5y agoSeems like existence of an HOA should decrease property values.
- umeshunni 5y agoIt directly and indirectly does - directly because it affects monthly payments and indirectly because it eliminates people who are opposed to HOAs
