Should HOAs be banned?

HOAs should be tightly regulated for abuses, but banning them would remove a useful tool for shared-property maintenance and local covenant enforcement.

HOAs can protect property values and shared amenities, and homeowners voluntarily agree to their rules when buying in—abuses call for reform and oversight, not an outright ban.

HOAs frequently infringe upon individual property rights and impose arbitrary, undemocratic restrictions on homeowners.
