    HOA’s are a problem though “property values” shouldn’t be the arbiter of what you can do to your home. Nothing should be off limits baring safety issues.

      So a continuous siren on your roof shouldn’t be a problem for your neighbors?
      Safety shouldn’t be the only limit.

          Okay. A light house? Whatever else you and I can’t imagine? There’s plenty of annoying shit that’s not illegal.

          Also neighborhood pools, playgrounds, parks. All managed by the HOA.

            In less wealth-unequal countries, things like parks, playgrounds and pools are run by the city/town or municipality.

                There’s no need for a HOA if the city completely fulfils the need for those public places, is what I’m saying. The discussion was on the purpose of HOAs, and this ain’t it.
