Right? And the only thing adjacent to an apartment that you can own is a condo, which you still have to pay rent for, plus buy the damn thing, and on top of it all, you get to be forced into an HOA.

And fuck HOAs. Fucking little tyrants designed to enforce racial segregation.

While of course fuck hoas, they do serve a legit purpose for maintaining the building at a steady cost if managed properly.

They need regulation badly. Petty tyrants living off the fat of the housing crisis. They're like employers during times of high unemployment.
