    The issue is that they’re already doing this with HOAs. They don’t care if they owne your house, but they own the dirt under it and can evict you for bullshit reasons. Make corporate HOAs illegal too

        I was waiting for this comment, and it’s the reason I framed it this way. Because an HOA done right is pretty much a commune. You can chose the membership terms, penalties, and organization scope.

        I’ve seen some where not paying your dues simply locks you out of amenities like pool access, and that’s it. So it’s kind of what you make it. Doesn’t have to be the nightmare most deal with.

          HOAs are just power tripping cunts. They treat their “job” like it’s life or death. Fuck HOAs.

          That could be handled with a communal spaces, a HOA tends to end run by the “Karens” trying to micromanage everyone, and the boys who think they’re Wyatt Earp running around enforcing stuff.

          There’s no excuse for meddling in the affairs of your neighbor, unless what they are doing is literally dangerous, as much as a flamingo in the yard pains me to see it doesn’t actually hurt me.

          Same to say my raised beds don’t hurt anyone, breaking the boring theme of crappy lawns isn’t reason to tack notices to the door, and a lot of them will attack people near the HOA not just the ones in it.
