[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HOA's exist because [b]humans have a tendency to be lazy, gross and selfish.[/b]  Without them, there's no telling what your neighbors will let their homes look like.  Yes, even in Potomac and Chevy Chase....where the lazy kids inherit their parents' multimillion dollar home and then let it go to shit.

I live in an HOA community, and I have a love-hate relationship with them.  I love them when they enforce the rules by not allowing people to smoke in the community's public spaces, but I hate them when they tell me that I can't install a Ring security system on the outside of my front door.

+1.  I agree.

And I would add that Americans tend to be very focused on "what's good for me," rather than "what's good for my community."  An HOA kind of forces us to care about our community as a whole, rather than just what is good for me.

If a person wants complete freedom to do whatever they want on their property, then they should probably buy some land and live in the outskirts, rather than in a suburb.[/quote]

Agree, but the guy who thinks he is the HOA, with an arsenal of guns enough for a large army, and enough cars to open his own dealership, will be the first one against HOAs, unfortunately.
