I had to go to google to see what she was saying as I killfiled her a
long time ago. If people don't want to live with a HOA how hard is it
to just live somewhere else? Bitching about how evil they are is a
waste of time. There's many living situations where a HOA is
certainly not needed. But there are some when it is. A
retirement/vacation community in the middle of bumble**** with very
little in the way of code enforcement would be a disastrous mess in a
year. The place I'm selling maintains it's own roads. Without the
HOA who would decide when to plow snow or fix whatever other problems
occur. There's two zip codes in the community which come from two
little towns. If you leave the gate and go to either town you'll see
homes like OM's worth half of what the homes in the park are.

I don't have a problem with OM's house as it's what she can afford and
I can't even afford my own. But bitching about the evils of HOA's is
ignorant.
