I mean, this topic is asking why HOAs are a thing, and the answer is to protect property values. That doesn't mean that the people who work for them can't be miserable fucks. Hell, the head of my HOA is terrified of me, because she decided to pick the moment I was getting out of my car after working for two straight days to threaten me with a fine because my grass was "an inch too high", and I proceeded to lose my shit on her.

Don't worry Rika. Trolling is hard to get down, but I'm sure you'll be able to do it properly before too long :^)
HOA also help with things besides property values. If a neighbor's property becomes run down/overgrown/trashy enough it can become a breading ground for pests, which can travel to your property. You can take efforts to eliminate the pests on your property, but they'll just keep coming back as long as the neighbor houses a colony of them. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

HOAs do many things:
1) Community security. Mine pays off-duty police officers to patrol the area at night. As a result we have little to no crime despite existing in Prince George's County, Maryland. 2) Community events. A sizable chunk of HOA money goes to social events for the community. Now, I dislike children, and most of these events are kid-focused, but I see value to parents. 3) Cleaning and maintenance of public areas. Sidewalks, kids' play areas, green spaces, etc are all kept up by the money paid to the HOA. This also includes forest preservation areas behind homeowners' properties--it's your HOA that will take care of trees that are about to fall that might hit your fence/house. This is typically their biggest expense. 4) Architectural review. Yeah, this is the part everyone hates dealing with themselves, but usually the HOA is not a bunch of authoritarian pricks jumping up your ass if you mow every 2 weeks instead of every week. It's mostly a review that has to sign off on your request to build a fence, and will provided it's not a chain link fence in an upscale area. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

I never understood that either TC. Home ownership is the alleged American Dream and an icon of freedom, independence, and ownership. So who the hell are these local groups, the HOAs, who when you allegedly buy a house they can micromanage your property and they don't pay a cent of your mortgage...? That's one of many reasons I prefer apartments.

I think the word you're looking for is lien. I'm tired, shut up. wackyteen posted... I just don't understand what kind of self hating cuck would literaally subject themselves to a place that dictates what kind of car they can buy. Meh, it's a contract you sign when you buy the home. A lot of communities with a HOA are surrounded with low income, shitty areas. I've never seen a HOA that dictates what color car you can have, but I don't doubt that they exist. Those rules are there to stop the extreme cases, really. My HOA states that your house must be white, beige, or a dark brown. This doesn't mean "we don't want your house to be dark red", what it's really trying to say is "don't fucking paint your house neon pink, you fuck". Usually, you can get away with it if it's within limits. I could paint my house dark red today, and I guarantee that nobody would ever say a word to me. I imagine that the people that had to return the yellow car had caused problems in the past, so they were being really strict with it. --- FFRK: BRKB - Eiko - Guardian Mog FFBE: 885,063,087 - Orlandeau - 931 ATK ...

When my fiance and I were looking at homes earlier this year, I immediately crossed out any that had were part of a homeowners association.
Yeah, that's what I need in my life. An extra bill and some 75 year old man harassing me after work every day about some trivial thing. No, Fuck that. No offense, but some of these old fogies have nothing better to do with their lives. They sit at home all day trying to remain relevant - and so they read every document with a fine tooth comb, and go after people who hang a four leaf clover on their door. I take care of my property - as does my next door neighbor. We both mow and take care of our lawns, and if you do the research before you buy the property (aka - check out the status of the neighborhood) you won't have to worry about how your neighbors are taking care of things. The only thing I have to get done (next year prob) is have my drive-way re-paved. That was the only thing that needed to be "updated" to the outside property. I would only join a HOA when I'm really old. Like, at least I wouldn't have to worry about shoveling snow or outside maintenance. --- "Impossible is just a word to let people feel good about themselves when they quit." - Vyse, Skies of Arcadia ...
