[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 899084, member: 60724"] Ironic! I think a HOA is a lot like a union. It's an organization that exists to represent the interests of its members; achieving for the members that which the members might otherwise be less likely to get on their own, and in return requires a fee from said members. That's what a HOA is. I pay them so that I can be a part of the organization that sets rules, and has my back, making sure that member's home values are maintained due to proper maintenance of member homes, etc. Without a HOA it might be difficult to make sure my neighbor's lawn gets mowed, or he doesn't put crap all over the place. So, if I value that, I pay into a HOA. Very similar to a union. If I think that I cannot achieve what I want from a job, or from an employer on my own, I might seek a job that is unionized and pay a union to help get the things I might not otherwise get on my own. Union = HOA. So, I guess it would make sense not wanting a HOA if you simply don't believe in paying someone else to regulate you, represent you, and provide services for you, supposedly for your own good. Of course, it would be ironic if you felt that way about HOA, but not about Unions. TJR [/QUOTE]
