Not a dig on you, but I find it telling that in discussions about the freedom of upping up and leaving, money is always mentioned as a limiting factor, but never community. For many, moving means losing the social ties they have, and that can be devastating. I wonder if it's a HN or American oversight.
- alistairSH 2y agoDoes HN have a higher than average # of immigrants or first-generation citizens? That could explain it.
- SpaceNoodled 2y agoNo, introverts.
- randomdata 2y agoWhat do you mean? Per the discussion, escaping social ties is the whole point of wanting to leave. If you fit into the community, what reason would there be to leave?
- lores 2y agoYou can have a community in the neighbourhood who aren't ruling the HOA.
- randomdata 2y agoBut then said community will overthrow the HOA, so, again, no reason to leave. The earlier suggestion of leaving was based on a situation where you don't find the community you need. Escaping the social ties was the sole reason for leaving. Why would escaping a community that you don't fit into be the same limiting factor that keeps you there? That doesn't make any sense.
- lores 2y agoWhy would you think that is the case?
- randomdata 2y agoBecause I do not believe that HOAs are magic. What makes you think that they are?
