HOAs should be dismantled and legally banned
rekabis•1h ago
Outside of Apartments and gated communities, they’re more rare up in Canada. You don’t see them spring up in a random neighbourhood, it’s invariably in high-density projects that require communal elements that are normally separate that they can be found.

And then they’re called Stratas, and have no significant power beyond those communal elements. Like, an apartment strata can ban live Christmas trees if there have been too many needles dropped in the hallways, but otherwise cannot prevent you from building a particle accelerator in your living room unless other residents start complaining about the high levels of radiation and fluctuating power levels as capacitors charge (oops).

At this point, my only viable response would be,

“Please, fine me. I have been looking for a way to significantly increase my retirement nest egg, and fining me for using a generator during this storm would be a guaranteed way of doing so. Bankrupting the HOA for the next decade would be of no consequence to me.”
