Or just don’t agree, and get a house that’s not part of an HOA. With individual houses at least, you can realistically opt out of a system where the 51% of Karens accept management company bribes.
I understand their point, it’s just a bad one. So much of where we live depends on job, educational, financial, and familial circumstances that it’s just outright ludicrous to pretend HOAs are the only factor to consider for a home purchase. Or even an important one.
Especially when so much of what makes them frustrating to deal with is created by bad HOA members, not even necessarily the contract itself. You will not know it’s a problem until it becomes one, in all likelihood.
Yes, you are technically free to not buy into a HOA neighborhood, like you’re also free to deliberately send your kid to a shitty school as you live in a van.

Wrong. Most areas with an HOA require membership to purchase the home.
Oh, look at that, most good areas have HOAs.

In the US these homes are increasingly rare. Pretty much any neighborhood built since the 70s comes with HOA bullshit attached
