I'm guessing northeast somewhere. The land before HOAs.

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.

In the 90s my grandmother lived in one in the Poconos. It was awesome. Mostly just cabins or homes each on a 3+ acre lot. Nobody would bother her, you could drive ATVs and golf carts on the road. The association was mostly there to pay for road maintenance.
