HOAs do that, yes, but that's not why they are so pervasive in the US, even in non-condominium style developments, and intrusive in their government of what goes on in non-common areas.
- bombcar 2y agoI think you'll find that they're vastly different in different parts of the USA. Around here you have Zillow reporting "HOA dues: $25/yr" and similar.
- dragonwriter 2y agoI’m not sure what point you think Zillow reporting the current dues amount makes one way or another about the historical reason they are so prevalent. Pretty sure that's what Zillow does anywhere where there are HOA dues, sure.
