Higher grocery prices ARE a result of greedflation, investigation shows:

68. Unfortunately, I live in one.

I was not aware of it when we moved here. (A long story for another time.) Plus, we did not sign anything in reference to said HOA. However, it is still your typical HOA. The board is made up of five people. Three seem indifferent, one is a complete milquetoast (that one is the president, btw), and one is trying to make Hitler look like a humanitarian. That last one is now trying to ban cannabis in the entire neighborhood. In this state, it has been decriminalized and has been used in a medical sense for many years now. That person cannot do this, but they are going to try. This after that person spent thousands of dollars to try and make the geese not come onto the property because they scare that person's dog. This person is convinced that only their vision and rules should be in place and everyone else should just follow along.

I hate HOAs. They serve no purpose other than to protect property values and to give wannabe dictators a means to live their twisted dreams. If I spend the kind of money required to purchase property these days, I am certainly not going to enter into anything that is going to dictate to me what I can and cannot do with said purchase. (Beyond the usual things like making a meth lab or using the house as a storage place for my exotic cats or the like.) HOAs are just there to make sure you are a good little property owner... per their idea of what you should be doing with your property.

If and when I ever get out of this place, I will live in a cardboard box in a ditch before I live anywhere that has an HOA! (And, trust me, were it not for my health, I probably would already be in it!)
