Reading this thread as a european it all seems utterly bugfuck insane. Trying to keep out undesirables, limiting renting, car ownership, number of occupiers, regulating behaviour outside of what the law prohibits, house values being the deciding factor on making alterations - nevermind lawns which I haven't seen mentioned here but I heard it's an issue too. Around here it's all just local authority which deals with a large area and usually is quite open-minded about things, certainly they won't use "lol no property values sacred" as a justification for a decision. As an actual question are there any more open-minded HOAs, where everything I've listed above goes, that are in nice neighbourhoods and still take care of common expenses?

WithoutTheFezOn posted:Without everything you listed? Probably not many. I’ve seen quite a few that only have one or two of those things, like “no parking in the street” or “no short term rentals”. I guess it's just one of those US things, like under-18 curfews, rolling coal, corporal punishment and half the people having guns. Considering just the example given by Colostomy Bag even that seems quite unreasonable to me. It's, well, do I get fined if I replace most of my lawn with a vegetable patch? Or a bunch of mint and lavender bushes? What if I don't want any lights on there? e: To be clear those well all things that we had in our suburban house in the UK which I shared with a bunch of working professionals. Then again that's also a bit "lol UK" because we're talking about an engineer working in a film industry, a mental health therapist, foreign university lecturer and software engineer (me) sharing a semi-detached house with two floors.

At least in the EU it's not all that bad, as per EU statistics around half of recyclable waste gets recycled. e: I realise those statistics largely predate 2018, but even looking at up-to-date government statistics for the UK things aren't all that bleak: gov.uk posted:We have made good progress in recent years and continue to take action aimed at increasing our resource efficiency and minimising the impact of our waste.

Can a HOA dissolve itself? Curious if it ever happens.
