Getting decent housing that isn't in an HOA in some regions is a privilege a lot of people don't have. At least they were still able to attain some homeownership.

If someone can kick you out of your house because you painted your fence the wrong color then you don't own your house.

Grossly oversimplifying this doesn't make your crappy point valid.

Why is everything in the US so damn weird? We don't have HOAs over here.

Usually, the answer is racism. In the case of HOAs, though, I'm going to guess that it's probably racism.

ETA: I looked it up on Wikipedia. The answer is: racism.

Gotta save themselves from the unimaginable horrors of diversity.

Americans are dumb.

I live in the "hood" and I have no HOA.

Fuck them "whites only" redlining neighborhoods where you don't even have freedom.

Btw it isn't even that bad as depicted on TV, they over-exaggerate everything. I still alive after a decade, haven't personally known anyone that died to homicide. The upside is that there aint any nazis around here at least, so for me as a non-white its actually safer than those racist-ass neighborhoods. As long as I don't go near drugs or gangs and I'm fine. And also remember to stay away from pigs.
