I live slightly out of town, and the subdivision HOA does little more than road maintenance and snow plowing (so the HOA owns a plow truck and a tractor), trash service, maintenance of communal areas. A nearby subdivision has no HOA and it must be a pain working out who's responsible for maintaining or snow plowing sections of road, with the answer from everyone probably being "not me", and everything is a mess. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] refoux@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) The city does this for a lot of places permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago Sure, but having the home owners come together in some kind of association to take on some basic services makes the suburbs slightly more sustainable for the city. When the city does everything for the suburbs it's a serious problem - the infrastructure costs more because of the huge lots and lack of housing density so they have to build more. Dense urban areas generate more tax revenue and most suburbs and neighborhoods of single family homes end up costing cities money, it's one more way society subsidizes the lives of wealthier people. permalink fedilink source parent [–] veroxii@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago Anywhere needing snow plows is a deal breaker for me. permalink fedilink source parent
