HOAs should be illegal. :)
- latchkey 3y agoWhat would you replace it with? I'm in a condo and while the HOA has been a pain in the ass, I don't see who else is going to get shit done in a communal way. I guess you could say that condo's shouldn't exist, but this is the only way I could afford to live in the neighborhood that I do. We could keep going down the rabbit hole of affordable housing... but it seems like we should stick to a bit of reality here.
- r00fus 3y agoNo, just regulated. The real-estate agent in the article had it right: real-estate is regulated way more than HOAs which have almost no regulation. When viewed in a lens of their history (ie, as a means of segregation and exclusion) it would make sense why they were "off limits" to legislators. However, I think it could be a popular thing to regulate them now - most homeowners hate their HOA random fees and correction requirements. And you have examples like the Revolt at the Villages [1] where HOAs take money from one group of residents to fund expansion elsewhere.
