Buying property subject to a HOA is not for anyone that likes to do

a whole. There has to be some sort of mindset in play.

LOL...I think you just hit THE ISSUE on the head.

My guess is those individuals who need rules and favor conformity
would thrive in a HOA.

Compulsive need for cleaniness and order (everything in its place)
would be another indicator.

Any guess which political group(s) fit that description?

TMT

Based on the Lefts long history of totalitarianism and forceing of
the
Nanny State..Id have to say its the Left.

Unless you think Stalin, Mao, Kim Dungwit and FDR were Republicans,
just to name a few....

Its a nation wide problem. An organisation called the CAI based in
california and compromised of
lawyers, management companies, realators, accountants and home builders
are
paying off politians
thru PAC's to make shure legislation is passed that eventualy will make
every home in america part
of a HOA. The people who make thier living from the HOA's are spending
big
buck to accomplish
thier goals. Sneak attacks are becoming more common, paying judges to
impose
HOA's where none
existed before is going to be the norm in the very near future.

Luckily we have 90 guns for every 100 people.

Wanna bet that there are HOAs that prohibit firearms?

TMT

Dunno, they haven't managed to do that with "gun free school zones", or
in public housing, at least for legally owned guns. The courts have
affirmed multiple times that the school zones can't infringe on their
neighbors constitutional rights and that you can't sign away your
constitutional rights for public housing.


That only holds true when dealing with the government or public
institutions,
When purchasing a home in a HOA you are entering into a private contract
willingley. The courts have ruled that under those conditions you can and
often do sign your constitutional rights away, lots of case law in that area
favoring HOA's violating constitutional rights that would apply in
conventional housing.
