Every HOA I've lived in had an elected board.
And everyone I've ever heard complain about HOAs has never tried to serve on the board. They're not universally volunteer orgs, but a _lot_ of them are -- which means that if you run, you'll probably be elected, because nobody else wants to deal with that.
HOAs are small governments, with plenty of the problems of larger governments via unhappy but nonparticipatory voters.
- Zigurd 1y agoThe problem is that they are untethered from other governments. Or at least less tethered. Contracts aren't constitutions or laws. There might be some benefits to that, but the downsides can be pretty outrageous.
