    I lived and worked in a lot of poor communities and neighborhoods.

    We have to organize our own clean ups, our own neighborhood watch, our own events.

    Richer neighborhoods get a lot more resources from the city.

      Right, that’s the whole point of HOAs. They do all the same shit local government does, but without needing to share with the poors. They should be illegal.

        Where I love HOAs are mostly for sharing maintenance and insurance costs of the houses, they don’t take over any responsibilities from the local government.
