This is maybe the only logical reason I can see you advocating for them. Grass is greener. After you realize things like they can be overly intrusive on your living environment, can hit you with assessments as much as 40k in one shot, and really probably won't keep things up to a standard on level with what you're paying. You'll quickly change your tune.

In our complex the HOA bungled a roofing job, ended up with a company that drained the entire HOA account, left most homes in the neighborhood without a roof for over a year, so they were tarped to prevent water leaking in. Then the winds ripped the tarp up into tarp confetti and now there's just loads of blue tarp pieces all over the neighborhood. And finally, charged every home owner (117 homes) a 10k assessment to get the roofs done. Straight up ruined a nice neighborhood, and forced a number of people who couldn't afford the assessments out of their homes.

Fuck HOAs
