Flags everywhere, and not just ‘Merican ones, actual flags for the branches of the armed forces. They even bought Space Force flags, for fuck’s same.

    I will never understand how HOAs became so prominent in “the land of the free” where private property is basically sacred. Then again I’m not American.

      in America, at least… Racism.

      Thats literally it.

      HoA’s became a major thing after WW2, in large part, to keep black and hispanic people from moving into white neighborhoods… with rare exceptions for “servants”.

      Because HOAs are not bad if ran correctly.

      The problem is when someone’s freedom infringes on another’s.

      Can a neighbor resurrect a 15ft tall obscene statue in their yard?

      Land of the free says yes. But every neighbor is going to hate it.

      With an HOA you don’t have to worry about it because the HOA will not allow it. You are protected from your neighbor’s choices that could make your property less appealing.
