Boozilla comments on hoa

Bats are cool. Our area has a bunch of small ones that come out at dusk and zip around eating bugs.

Remember, HOAs can be removed by a vote. If yours sucks: Do some leg work, and talk to your neighbors.

When I looked into it I found that HOAs are almost impossible to remove. Mainly because so long as a house is under a mortgage then the controlling bank has an interest in keeping the HOA.

They also tend to own common areas, and it's really hard to figure out what to do with those, and who's responsible for them, once the HOA is disolved.

Probably varies by local laws. Where I live, I believe it can be done with a 2/3 vote. Does require some legal fees, but nothing too crazy.

Even if you can't remove the HOA, they presumably have elected positions, so the people making them awful can be removed, even if that means standing yourself.
