I am on the board of an HOA in OKC. High end neighborhood that covers 1/2 square mile. The annual lawn service / maint contract is 60k a year. We’re contracted with an enterprising young man who is in his late 20’s. And everyone he employees is hispanic. Young enterprising “boys” these days play xbox and watch Youtube while their parents support them. I was a kid in the 60’s too... and it like it was then.
I was a kid later than you. I lived all over this country. The kids I knew worked their butts off. Daddy could not put them through college and pay for their cars and dates and they were EXPECTED to work. It may be a class thing.
HOA’s are evil
