> Why rail against the HOA? If an HOA doesn't maintain or improve your property value, can you provide what purpose it serves over traditional local government (besides collecting dues for shared landscaping needs or common area maintenance)? I rail against unnecessary bureaucracy whenever possible, especially HOAs.

  Keep a consistent standard of quality across the community, which has immense value for me.

    If you're happy with a non-essential non-governmental organization body exerting that amount of control over your property, more power to you. I'll continue to push my legislators hard, both at the local and state level, to remove whatever power is available to them.

      Serious question, why do you look to de-power the legislators at your local and state level? if you don't agree with them, find a state/city/county with policies and government you agree with. Unless you disagree with all forms of governance, in which case there is no point in discussion.

Government should be accountable; HOAs have been proven to not be.

  > traditional local government Some counties don't have much traditional local government. Some cities are very well regulated, and HOAs aren't needed. Others are just unregistered unregulated cities for the most part. I mean, most counties do provide police and school services. But my HOA resolves parking issues (including the cost of towing vehicles), as well as pothole repairs. In another nearby county, the county presumably covers those sorts of issues and HOAs are much smaller (the other county is more urban)
