Banned is maybe too far, but why should we as a country allow people to have petty power over meaningless things their neighbors do? Could we ban HOAs from being included in house sales, and every time it's sold the new owners have to opt in?
For the most part, I'm wondering about this in the context of single family homes since for homes like condos, you could make the case that HOAs are useful for shared things like roofs and whatnot. Maybe limit mandatory HOA involvement to things like what's truly necessary and shared and not how tall your grass is?
How?
That's fucked up that that is happening near you. This doesn't happen in my subdivision. I positive of this, because my wife is on the board and I attend every meeting. The board doesn't get to decide who gets to buy a house. Also, no violations are ever given without full board approval. We live in a somewhat diverse neighborhood.
We don't even get notified if a house is sold or not unless there's a lien from dues. We have nothing to do with sales and don't even know about them.
Florida? Racist? No way!
