Nope, FUCK that, if I dont have complete and total freedom with my home then what the fuck even is home ownership?
For instance they're the ones responsible for getting someone in to repave the road (subdivisions are responsible for their own road upkeep, not the municipality).
EVERY quality they have is negative.

Well you're free to live somewhere without an HOA. I'm just explaining the full extent of why they exist, not just their negative qualities.Something like 80% of all new homes are covered by an HOA, so it's super simple to just live somewhere else.

Like all ideas it was corrupted by pricks
Nope, they need to be permanently dismantled and illegal. They're a bunch of paid shit-suckers with too much power. If you bought it, you can do what you like as long as it's legal.If it's against the HOA covenants then it's not legal so...
I worked construction in place that had one. They wherent allowed to choose the color of their house. The house colors where done In a repeating patternLet me guess: Grey, beige, greige, repeat

Because HOAs exist for reasons other than to "keep everyone's property values high" (that's just usually the prime concern of what drives the more annoying practices).

We own our home and I'd never live in a HOA.
Yeppers. Who in the hell moves into a neighborhood where the government doesn't maintain the roads? Like, aren't easements a thing whether it's private or not?Yeah I never heard of such a thing. I am I St. LOUIS, and f the he county maintains the streets of my subdivision.
Yeppers. Who in the hell moves into a neighborhood where the government doesn't maintain the roads? Like, aren't easements a thing whether it's private or not?It's becoming more common since cities realize they can pass that responsibility to HOA while still collecting the same amount of taxes. Additionally, it's becoming harder and harder to find homes that aren't part of a HOA, specifically newly built homes.
Where I live has an HOA and I love it. They do all snow shoveling, snow plowing, cutting grass, laying new tan bark, they always keep everything clean and never any potholes or anything in the roads like big cracks.Sounds like you live in a condo. Those are the only pieces of property where an HOA makes sense, because you don't own the land.
There isnt trash in the streets and just common junk like you see many places like people leaving garbage cans out all week.
It makes my neighborhood feel safer. It keeps the value of the neighborhood high
