[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought in a new development in Alexandria 15 years ago. Glad there is a HOA. If we did not have HOA, I could definitely see some homeowners never doing any maintenance to outside of house. These people only do Maintenance when they have been written up. The parking would be even more out of control. [/quote]

New development is different.  Most homes are uniform and parking is better designed obviously.  Older homes have narrower driveways and often just 1 car garages or carports.  It was a different lifestyle back then.  Older residents who live there have no parking for their kids, new residents often have 2-3 cars and need street parking space.  Even huge driveway3-car garage McMansions aren't immune from parking shortage, I see parked cars next to them here and there if they host guests or parties.

Also when you buy into the new development or the one with HOA you know what you want and getting into.  OP wants areas that didn't have HOA (where people maybe do not want it) to have it. [/quote]
