Flags everywhere, and not just ‘Merican ones, actual flags for the branches of the armed forces. They even bought Space Force flags, for fuck’s same.

Why does the US have HOAs? I can't think of other countries that have them, nor why they are really needed. Seems like a chance for power-hungry people to be little Hitlers over minutiae.

If you're ever wondering why something in the US is bad, it's almost always racism. Sometimes it's corporate profits.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Once upon a time, racists would put racial deed restrictions on a house (you could only sell it to another white buyer).

When that was thrown out, HOAs were a work-around (I’ve been told. Not completely sure how they could just veto a sale to someone with melanin).

Today, HOAs manage communal property and services (eg landscaping and community pools). The little Hitlers will also put some light fascism in the rules. Some understandable like leaving trash cans out indefinitely. Some less so like exterior paint colors.

I’m generally not a fan of HOA for single family homes, but I’ve yet to hear of an alternative for multi family buildings (“condos” in most of America). How else do you decide what gets done to communal space?

Not completely sure how they could just veto a sale to someone with melanin.

They can't, but they can make sure that melanin is the only visible or auditory difference. Nowadays, most (but not all) racists are okay with brown and black people existing as long as they make a little bit less than white professional peers and exactly match the racists' understanding of how white people should act.

Many countries have HoA's.

Why America has them is, simply put, racism. HoA's got started after WW2, specifically to keep non-white people from moving into white neighborhoods.

and a lot of them are still used for this purpose to this day. just not as overtly

[–] Gaslov@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

They exist because trashy disrespectful people exist.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 days ago

That's exactly why, that and outsourcing unsustainable maintence burden off of the ciry

[–] zout@fedia.io 2 points 5 days ago

The Netherlands has them, if a building has multiple apartments there usually is a HOA. I think it used to be a lot like in the US where some bored pensioner decides to ruin everyone else's day, but these days they are more and more run by corporations.

power-hungry people to be little Hitlers over minutiae

there's a high demand for that here

China has HOAs....

[–] LilB0kChoy@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago

There’s a whole article about HOAs. Pay especially close attention to the part about common interest developments, that’ll be the reason why HOAs are growing rapidly across the US.
