So you believe the working class is america is under represented because less working class members vote than the rich voters? “Welcome to politics, it’s the same thing at all levels” That just isn’t how it works is it?
Home owners associations are more accessible to those with more money and more time. Seems familiar doesn’t it.
No, I believe that if there’s only 20 owners that are involved and you jump in you’re 1 out of 21 voices instead of 1 out of millions of voices so your opinion has more weight to it.

Or just don’t agree, and get a house that’s not part of an HOA. With individual houses at least, you can realistically out out a system where the 51% of Karens accept management company bribes.

Wrong. Most areas with an HOA require membership to purchase the home.

You didn’t understand what they said… You’re free to purchase a house somewhere where there’s no HOA if you disagree with HOAs and don’t want to get involved in them.

In the US these homes are increasingly rare. Pretty much any neighborhood built since the 70s comes with HOA bullshit attached

I understand their point, it’s just a bad one. So much of where we live depends on job, educational, financial, and familial circumstances that it’s just outright ludicrous to pretend HOAs are the only factor to consider for a home purchase. Or even an important one.
Especially when so much of what makes them frustrating to deal with is created by bad HOA members, not even necessarily the contract itself. You will not know it’s a problem until it becomes one, in all likelihood.
Yes, you are technically free to not buy into a HOA neighborhood, like you’re also free to deliberately send your kid to a shitty school as you live in a van.
