Because you never hear about an HOA unless someone is complaining about it.
I would guess, if they were ran the way they’re supposed to, I guess there would be no complaints, stories and reports. Right?
Back to the the question, why all the nightmare stories regarding HOA, if it’s all voluntary? Are people in HOAs stupid and don’t read their contracts? Do they need a lawyer just to read it because it’s 40 pages of ultra convoluted legal babble?
Btw, the reports of complaints regarding HOAs are endless. It’s no secret.
