[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not get rid of it. You will need to sue your neighbors to get them to pay for road maintenance if there is no HOA. it Will destroy your neighborhood. If they cared about maintaining the appearance of their Home they wouldn't be against the HOA. The HOA is also your only protection from simplex destroying the neighborhood. You want to protect yourself from the disaster of Arlington zoning. [/quote]

Possibly dumb question - why does the HOA maintain the road and not the county?

I live in a condo in another state.  We are responsible for our own roads within the borders of our development.  Roads are actually quite expensive.  Cities are quicker to approve developments if the public infrastructure costs are minimized.   The developers don't care if they push maintenance costs on future owners.  And the early owners don't care because the costs won't fall to them.  My community spends a lot on periodic re-asphalting/sealcoating and maintaining the ends of driveways in hopes of postponing the day when we need to renovate the underlayers of the roads.

Also in my town, there are still gravel and dirt roads in some 100 year plus SFH neighborhoods.  Some of the residents like it that way and they get angry when there are special city assessments to put in sidewalks and concrete roads.  It's quite costly.  Tens of thousands to put sidewalks along two sides of a big lot.[/quote]
