No, your analogy breaks down because you are trying to make GO As sound far more innocuous than they are.
Some are innocuous, some are not. I’ve said it 15 times on this thread. And your poodle nonsense yuppie quote is quite interesting. For you to think all HOAs are in yuppie neighborhoods shows a level of ignorance. Your fear of them says even more.
And no, I’m not a yuppie, don’t live in an HOA, but I do know this issue quite well.
hate spell check! That’s HOAs, not GO As.
