When people want to live in a nice neighborhood cheek-to-cheek, an HOA can help. The HOA can enforce rules that help everyone’s property values.

I was in one where there was no common property & the homes were spread out. After 6 years of HOA fights, we voted to disband the HOA by an 85:15 margin.

Good for you.

I find myself in a disfunctional HOA with a tyrannical man and woman at the helm. Each with nothing to do all day but fret that somewhere, someone is doing something over which they have no control.

What is the most effective way to organize a movement to have it abolished?

Anyone with proven advice, please chime in.

Bravo!

When I didn't like what our HOA was doing I easily got myself elected as an Officer and several of us stopped the bad stuff, collected the arrears and using these funds repaired the pool and completely refurbished the three tennis courts. Also the monthly bills were paid on time once we had the Treasurer arrested for embezzlement.

Rather then just bitching people like us got involved and fixed things.
