137. Quite a few right here on DU.

The HOA threads are full of them.

Let me make it clear: if you support any form of a homeowner's association, wherein the homes are individual, and not part of a building sharing walls (such as a high-quality, high-price apartment, commonly called a "condominium" by the overly class conscious), you do not fully support, value, or appreciate the freedoms affirmed (and specifically not granted) by the American Constitution, period, and you desire that others' freedoms be similarly eroded.

HOAs are one of the most common forms of that kind of basic, fundamental erosion of freedom. As with all other forms of Authoritarianism, it's "reasonable" to demand a person paint their house beige and clip their lawns to a maximum of 2 1/2" until you really think about it.

I'd prefer permitting a home to have a few weeds, a lawn that hasn't been mowed for two weeks because it's fucking hot outside, and purple shutters on green paint over what I always see in HOA-"represented" subdivisions without a second thought. The former are free people; the latter only think they are.

I know better. That makes them angry because they are stupid, and call their stupidity a virtue.
