My starter home required HOAs. I paid them. On the list of items the HOAs covered was "management and treatment of the ponds."
I caught my neighborhood owner/developer dumping sheetrock into the ponds as a means to "clean" the pond, cars in the yard and horrible yard upkeep were also being allowed.
I moved quickly to a nonHOA area and won't looo back.

I think kicking someone out of their home and then putting a lien on all of their present and future property is an efficient form of punishment

I didn't and soon others followed and the HOA got dissolved.

The problem most people have isn't when they start, it's after a few years and they realize the HOA isn't keeping up there end of the deal, or when the HOA spends more time being a nosy neighbor than keeping up the median. Or worse: when they up the dues but there's no increase in product.

Well I can only speak on my personal experience. I have lived in a total of 2 subdivisions which had Hoa's. During the closing process of each home I had to sign legal paperwork which stated I would agree to the restrictions of the HOA and also agreed to pay the required dues

Well, I literally have all of that. Also, newer communities have a ton of common space, small private lots, and commercial downtowns. The HOAs cover the upkeep, and keep property values up. We also have huge community events through the year (fall festivals, movies in the park every week, etc) which is covered by the HOA.

Generally speaking HOA's are a waste of money.
Why let someone else tell you what you can and can't do with your property?
yes, they typically are but wouldn't that be a consideration before moving into a neighborhood?

Those dues cover landscaping and upkeep of common grounds, lakes, etc that everyone in the subdivision benefits from. If you don't want to pay for those things, don't move in. It's really simple.
Our also covers street lanterns, signage, the wall around the neighborhood, electric privacy gates/kiosks, parks, and bike paths. We also escrow money for future capital projects and street maintenance.

and why do you have to give them money?
Posted on 5/17/17 at 10:29 am to RidiculousHype
There is a simple solution. There is a reason Lien Laws exist. If used correctly the HOA will get paid, whether now or later with penalties and interest. If this isn't being done then maybe you should complain about the HOA board of directors instead of the people not paying.

HOA dues in my neighborhood are less than $50 a year, and mostly cover the median flowers on the main road.
They don't do anything about poor yard upkeep or tacky decorations.

One of my favorite events every year is when I get to throw away the HOA fee letter.
My neighborhood has a $100.00 a year fee which goes to absolutely nothing. They don't paint/update the entry signs, they don't do any landscaping, and they most likely pocket it. The "head" of the HOA is a cock sucking snoody count. She can suck my medium to small penis.

My other thought is that I already pay enough in property taxes. I don't need:
1)Another bill to pay with questionable returns.
2)Another person nosing on my property because they think they're entitled.
3)More bureaucracy
If you think you're getting what you're paying for than I am glad it works for you, but the majority of HOA's don't justify the loss of property rights or the fees involved or the pretend important people to deal with.

If your HOA is letting you down, then I can see the outrage. We have 2 pools, a splash pad , tennis courts , workout facility , walking trails around man made ponds and water falls, outdoor event centers, 5 playgrounds , etc etc etc. I can "see" what I'm paying for.
Of course , I'm not an OT baller with 5 acres in River Oaks Houston in which I could fund those all on my own.

Some new people moved into the neighborhood several years back. A young couple came around trying to start an HOA, and I told them I wanted no part of it and would not be paying anything if they started one. The question I asked was why was an HOA needed all of a sudden when we never had one for 55 years. They gave a nonsense reply to which I said if you wanted an HOA so badly why didn't you move into a neighborhood that already had one.
The HOA thing didn't happen.
