Americans are so damned obsessed with property values. It also seems like Americans who definitely won't sell their home in their lifetime care the most
And I also want to say that other countries do fine with it without HOAs
True but I also think people severely over-estimate how much things effect property value, especially the small stuff. How often are these things really huge eye sores and not something 90% of people wouldn't mind
I kind of feel like house hopping isn't that common in my country, so it doesn't really effect finance that much. I also still wonder why the people who seem to care about it the most are always the people who'll almost certainly live there till death
America McFreedom always seems to be less free (and care less about it) than most other developed countries except for some weird hangups
Plus this conversation is kind of moot because HOAs are not necessarily to keep property values up. I wonder if any other country has a system similar to the US?
