What is your point?
Nobody has to buy a condo with a HOA. Even if I think it is a better deal, I am no obliged to buy into it.
I don't think there should be an option to opt out if one is a resident. When you buy the property, you opt in. HOA's would have no clout if opting out was the case. And if you buy into one, you expect it to do its job.
One can buy a property as nice as any without a HOA so there is no "forcing" here.

That is precisely my point.
TheKidster is the one who thinks people are "forced" into buying condos with HOAs.
