Here's a few examples from my non-HOA neighborhood. Guy that lives a few doors down from me had knee surgery and couldn't cut his grass for a few months. So myself and a few of the others around us took turns cutting his grass to keep it looking nice. We had a blight issue down the street and the City took care of that via code enforcement.


That is great that you and your neighbor mowed a fellow neighbors grass, seriously, but that doesn't explain how that prevents someone from painting their house lime green with yellow accents. There is rarely anything the city can do about that so if you get someone with bad taste or who is colorblind you have no recourse. I could list tons of other situations that are perfectly legal activities that will detract from a home's value so the city/parish can't do a thing about it.

Meh. If it got to be that bad you could sue them. But amazingly 10 of the 14 houses in my block have been painted in the last 5 years and none of them are lime green.

If you are arguing that an HOA is a good idea because it regulates good and bad opinions of design then you sir are a communist.

A paint color choice is an opinion. I happen to like lime green.
