      I was so shocked when I learned that in the same country that gives guns to children because muH FrEedOmS, you cannot let your lawn grow out on your own property because some Karen down the road doesn’t like the way it looks.

      Getting decent housing that isn’t in an HOA in some regions is a privilege a lot of people don’t have. At least they were still able to attain some homeownership.

        I live in the “hood” and I have no HOA.

        Fuck them “whites only” redlining neighborhoods where you don’t even have freedom.

        Btw it isn’t even that bad as depicted on TV, they over-exaggerate everything. I still alive after a decade, haven’t personally known anyone that died to homicide. The upside is that there aint any nazis around here at least, so for me as a non-white its actually safer than those racist-ass neighborhoods. As long as I don’t go near drugs or gangs and I’m fine. And also remember to stay away from pigs.

        If someone can kick you out of your house because you painted your fence the wrong color then you don’t own your house.

      Like everything in life, not all HOAs are the same. There’s definitely a bias surrounding them, because people who live in good ones don’t complain every time they’re mentioned.
