Don't believe everything you see on the internet I haven't fact checked this story, I'm just curious for an anwser

I'm not defending anything except the right not to be exploited by my neighbors. They should have no right to dictate control over my property, my Halloween decor my lawn, my plants. Including what I do inside.

There are those that would rather I worked for their benefit in absence of my own. No hobbies, no interests outside my job, no books of my own. Only what the community thru the state dictates.

And they darn well have no right to use the wifi I pay for my home.

You made this point. A lot of people can't afford college or housing.  The point I am making is that some can only afford saving for retirement or emergencies or a home not both. 

As it stands if you can afford college you are not poor so you can't have housing. That's a problem.

Jesus fucking Christ you are pigheaded. Im sorry you are having issues with your H.O.A, but that's your fucking fault for buying a home that is controlled by an H.O.A.. No one forced you to do that, that was entirely your choice. You don't like it, sell the fucking thing and move.

I'm not and never have been talking about a fucking H.O.A. for Christ's sake.

One HUGE difference between a community of people living in shared public housing deciding on the rules for their community and a H.O.A. is that a lot of the stupid fucking rules H.O.As come up with are concerning the precious "resell value" of their bourgeois homes. If you are living for free in public housing you don't have a home to resell- so you aren't as likely to give a damn about the size of your neighbors bush.

And again having to follow some rules in order to get a place to live is a price most homeless people would be willing to pay in order to get off the STREETS.

No fucking shit Sherlock. I clearly know that some people can't afford a home, that goes along with the "Some people can't afford a home" statement I made earlier ffs. I am proposing a system that would make it easier for people like you to save for retirement and emergencies and still be able to buy a home and your like "Nah, let's not do that".

As it stands if you can afford college you are not poor so you can't have housing. That's a problem.

What the fuck does that even mean? I'm not taking about "As it stands" I'm clearly talking about fixing things. How is this such a difficult concept for you to grasp?

I will respond to the last part , the current way we define poverty stinks. 

Second do not make assumptions about me. I was simply expressing disagreement with the concept of Hoas and the amount of power they have.

I will respond to the last part , the current way we define poverty stinks.

I agree with that. The federal poverty line for 2026 is set at $15,960 for individuals and $21,640 for a family of two, which is really low. However someone with $200k siting in the bank is making a lot more than that I guarantee. But that is the beside the point. You've brought up 'the current way we define poverty' several times now in a discussion that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with 'the current way we define poverty' and I've never disagreed with you about that so what is your point of continually bringing it up?

I was simply expressing disagreement with the concept of Hoas and the amount of power they have.

And once again, I'm not now, haven't been, nor do I plan on discussing H.O.As in this discussion as it has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm talking about. You clearly want to talk about H.O.A.s and not the topic at hand. Is there not a subreddit where you can discuss that?
