Comment on The town and HOA only have two settings for a holiday: Jesus and Troops. I guess Labor days is a "Troops" holiday.

We need a de-hoa movement.

I think I once read half of homeowners live in hoa’s now. Fuck that, no one is telling me what I can do with my property in the private sector. Not crazy about the government either.

I will never understand how HOAs became so prominent in “the land of the free” where private property is basically sacred. Then again I’m not American.

  Racism.
  
  Thats literally it.
  
  HoA’s became a major thing after WW2, in large part, to keep black people from moving into white neighborhoods… with rare exceptions for “servants”.

  Same reason they love package holidays and guided tours, and still go to church.

  Because HOAs are not bad if ran correctly.
  
  The problem is when someone’s freedom infringes on another’s.
  
  Can a neighbor resurrect a 15ft tall obscene statue in their yard?
  
  Land of the free says yes. But every neighbor is going to hate it.
  
  With an HOA you don’t have to worry about it because the HOA will not allow it. You are protected from your neighbor’s choices that could make your property less appealing.
