Sometimes I wish we had a homeowner's association here, to deal with people who let their dogs run free and shit on people's porches


HOAs dont stop that. People disregard the community rules all the time, and nothing is done about it.

They're definite corrupt garbage. They take what should be a very basic concept, make sure the neighborhood has some reasonable standards as to presentation, and turns it into scamming others for money and seeking to dominate everyone as if they're a council of gods.

Our HOA only exists so that our neighborhood retains control over certain properties that otherwise the city/county would have to manage (and then the rules would probably be stricter). It's pretty cheap tbh and from what I've seen people have been delinquent on payments for years without any consequences >_>.

At an old job I used to have to pick up secure files for storage. Had to pick up at an HOA meeting, and it really was sickening. These people were basically scheming up new ways to cheat the home owners out of money so that they could continue to exist.

HOA board members are usually the retired folk with nothing better to do. Law allows for regular elections so Boards can change if any resident cared to join. I used to manage HOAs professionally. When someone complained to me about a particular policy or project I said run for the Board or at least attend meetings if you don't like. Most did neither.

Why do they even exist? I've heard nothing but bad things about them.
if memory serves, they exist to keep black people out of white neighbourhoods

How do they exist? If you buy a house, and item both it and the land it's on, what exactly puts you under their influence?

Officially, it's to keep property values high. If someone is interested in a house but Billy Bob next door has miscellaneous car parts all over the yard, they're gonna be reluctant.

It's just that they also happen to be absurd nazis about the dumbest stuff.

You cannot buy the house without agreeing to be under their power.

Would like a source for that kind of claim.
