[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're uncomfortable with this, buy in a neighborhood with strong HOA rules. [/quote]

This.   Also, vote differently.

This. I live in a HOA neighborhood and while our HOA is really annoying, the tradeoff is I’ve never seen this situation arise and we also don’t see houses in disrepair, overgrown yards, etc. My relatives lived in a really “desirable” area with no HOA (pricier than ours) and they had more issues with these things than we did. One thing that happened there is boomers would leave their house in a prime area to their deadbeat kid and the kid would have all their unemployed friends move in and let the place become a dump.

You need restrictive covenants too just to be safe. HOAs are not enough to protect the neighborhood anymore. Look at the law California just passed capping HOA fines for violations to a one-time $100 fee. This effectively makes HOAs unable to enforce compliance with community standards. A restrictive covenant will provide a backup method of enforcement via private legal action if state law neuters your HOA enforcement authority.

A restrictive covenant would give you the right to enforce the standards privately with legal action and it would be likely unconstitutional for the state to retroactively invalidate a covenant that was legally valid when it was established. [/quote]
