they don't have a choice. most new homes are constructed under HOA.

65% of new or updated properties, are in a HOA. and 85% of attached housing is.

the only way to not be in one is to buy older freestanding housing, which is the least affordable housing option.

Let them Rot. The alternative is to keep buying paper mache houses with a foot-bridge long list of monthly / semi-monthly expenses bound by the rules of brown-nosed power hungry "neighbors"/(developers). Do you really want to work until you die for house not worth owning? Can you even say you own an HOA house?
