Absolutely not. HOA's as they currently exist are an abomination and should be outlawed. The idea of a group of busybodies in your neighborhood telling you what you can do with your property is abhorrent.
HOA's should exist purely as a way to manage SHARED spaces and facilities. If your neighborhood has a communal pool, or small park, great! HOA to take a small fee to manage and maintain these for the betterment of the community.
HOA to tell you what color you can paint your house, or if you can build a treehouse for your kid? Go fuck yourself! Repeatedly! With a rusty nail! When you pay my mortgage you can tell me what happens on the property.
Seriously.
I'd rather live next door to a junkyard of a front yard, than to have some ol biddy come across my house and fine me 500 dollars cause my grass is 1/32 of an inch too tall, and if you strain really hard and look through binocs, you can see the hint of an edge of my garbage cans on the side of my house.
and then, you have to pay, or they can literally take your house from you
fuck HoAs. I will live in a cardboard box next to an open septic field before i live in one.
plus they can fine you and foreclose on your home without even telling you.
Anyone who has lived next to someone who positively trashed their home or played loud ass music all day will enthusiastically disagree.
HOAs are very common and they do a lot more than regulate fence color.
Yeah they keep out minorities!
ive lived next to both. i still agree.
