Well, I’m a disabled trans woman who does fine art photography, and I was mustered into this role. I don’t like the responsibility, but I’m the only one who accepted it, so I’m going to do it right. I’m not being paid, I just sign contracts and oversee work crews and look at a budget report every month, and make sure all my dudes in their houses they own, don’t start dying cause their house is falling apart.

I promise you, I’m really not an asshole. I pay more HOA fees than anyone else out here cause I fucked up the math, and rather than call a meeting to try to get a quorum together to fix it, I just eat the $90 extra a month.

I just want my tiny neighborhood to keep being a neighborhood.

    Yeah like, you've shown to me that I've only ever heard of the bad cases, but there are cases where it actually works.

    My new opinion is it's a necessary evil like how charities are, in a perfect world they should not need to exist as social policies will meet the needs of the people. But in the imperfect world we actually live in, those needs are not met, and so charities have to pick up the slack.

    Same for HOA, USA and some of the less socialist parts of EU need them, cause the gov aren't doing their fucking job, so somebody needs to do it.
