HOA.... socialism at work. Anyone who willingly signs away their rights to live in a particular community is a fool IMHO.
I guess you enjoy the cars up on blocks in the front yard and major appliances on the front porches in your neighborhood then?
I’ve lived with and without HOAs, and the non HOA places had a much higher incident rate of stupid owner activity.
Here’s to hoping your next door neighbor opens his own home business - a used car dealership.
