I understand their point, it’s just a bad one. So much of where we live depends on job, educational, financial, and familial circumstances that it’s just outright ludicrous to pretend HOAs are the only factor to consider for a home purchase. Or even an important one.
Especially when so much of what makes them frustrating to deal with is created by bad HOA members, not even necessarily the contract itself. You will not know it’s a problem until it becomes one, in all likelihood.
Yes, you are technically free to not buy into a HOA neighborhood, like you’re also free to deliberately send your kid to a shitty school as you live in a van.

In the US these homes are increasingly rare. Pretty much any neighborhood built since the 70s comes with HOA bullshit attached

74% of the housing market doesn’t have an HOA in the USA, worst case put pressure on the higher level of government to get them regulated, it’s a US issue, you don’t see that anywhere else.
