A property owner should be able to have control over his or her property rights while he or she owns the property. The property owner should not be able to force the next owner to sign away property rights as a condition of sale.

Then you don't understand property rights. I can't help you with that. As a condition of sale I can exercise my property rights to only sell to people who agree to abide by the HOA.

And I don't have an HOA and would never want to live in one. But I hate FReeper nutcases who can't understand simple logic.

I understand that property rights have been twisted into what you describe, where a neighborhood can strip the property rights from a new buyer forcefully. But that's not property rights by any sane definition. That's property rights like communism is freedom.

So, tell me again why you can't make the HOA voluntary?
