I have never lived in an HOA development and have never lived in a condo, and never will.

In the right circumstances with the right people as neighbors it can be the best of times.

On the other hand you need to pick your neighbors. It becomes a legacy and word of mouth community. I've even had neighbors which shared a mansion with three other families. Several kitchens, 14 bedrooms, formal gardens with fountains, elevator, etc.... Always a babysitter and always a weekend party.

I don’t think a HOA would have an appreciation for my race cars. My one near neighbor loves the sound of them!
