Comment on HOAs suck
mojo_raisin@lemmy.world 2 months agoA functional community would not let infrastructure degrade to that point because it’s not in the interest of the community. This event you’re describing comes from greedy powerful people pushing off needed maintenance to buy a new Mercedes. The community would have systems in place to manage the infrastructure, infrastructure that could not be managed would not be built.
You’re basically asking “how would anarcho-communists deal with this huge mess made by authoritarian capitalists?”

Who’s paying for the maintenance? What happens in the event of an “act of God”? What is “the community” you speak of? I don’t know what this has to do with greed. Things cost money. You need to have a structure for how costs are levied amongst homeowners. I don’t get what is so difficult to understand. Would you prefer there just be a bunch of lawsuits when any little thing goes wrong?

If you’re in a city, these things should be taken care of by the city and state. There is no need for an additional micro-state. My parents live in a community without an HOA, been there since 1990, somehow it’s possible. Without an HOA, or even a city (unincorporated area) the place has been able to take care of it’s needs for 35 years, it’s a nice, peaceful place.
