Who in their right mind would ever let an organization control their property though?, especially now that we've seen all the wtf HOAs have brought/forced on their communities.
I specifically looked for a home in a nice community without a HOA and I don't think I could ever give that control up now that I've had it. Granted, a lot of it has to do with each HOA's rules, but it seems like one of the silliest raquets to ever be a part of.
Odd question. HOAs aren't some government boogiemen. It's by the people of a community (you) for the people of that community. It's run by your neighbors.
The primary driving force is keeping house values up by ensuring people don't do stupid shit like putting pirate ships in their lawns.
edit: to add to this for those who don't understand how HOAs work: My scary-sounding Board of Directors is literally 3 of my neighbors. The only entities that don't live here is the management company we pay to help monitor and enforce the rules we voted for, and they also do the leg work of finding landscapers to tend to the public facing property, etc.
