HOA gonna pop that bubble real quick.

PSA to homebuyers: Even if the HOA has reasonable rules now and is run by your neighbors, don't expect that to continue when they get older and want to pass off management to a company who will make life a living hell.

    much better PSA, don't buy a house that is in an HOA. HOA's are the devil, and they are a great example of why the adage that local control is best, is total bullshit.

    Unless I move out to the middle of nowhere, there's not many options for me that don't have an HOA of some kind. Wish I could avoid them, but unfortunately too ubiquitous in the states.

    City folks sure say "the middle of nowhere" when they mean anything other the overpriced suburbs, and stupid cities like New York.
