It is interesting how people think this can't happen.
1. Government take over Banks.
2. Government take over Car industry
3. Government Wants to take over your health Care (Walter Reed lest not forget)
4. Katrina
See a pattern here. Especially with a lot of homes going in forclosure.
Un Huh

Again, what part of my earlier statement didn't you understand when I said it was a CHOICE for me to live in an HOA development? I didn't have a CHOICE w/the government taking over the auto industry....
Jeez, please compare apples to apples, not apples to cantalopes...
Reminiscent of the movie 'The Colony'.
I've heard the one in Highland Creek is like an Imperial Senate.
Could be mistaken , but it seems to be dwindling down to fewer and fewer making 'rules' either based upon needs or personal gripes.
The government in NC mandates that new neighborhoods have HOAs.
Exactly. It's only a matter of time before nearly everyone has to live under an HOA.
I've already had a legal battle with an HOA in my previous "home town." It was very, very stressful as I was receiving threats from the HOA board and attorneys about liens, fines, etc.
It was absolutely insane: We had the most expensive house in the neighborhood. We had one of the nicest landscaped lawns and it always looked perfect. We had no pets. No children. We weren't loud. In fact, we were are both young professionals who were rarely home! We had nice, late model cars (no rust buckets in the driveway or garage.)
So what was the problem? Jealousy! My wife and I had the most expensive house in the neighborhood and we were in our mid-20s at the time. Both of us have master's degrees. The HOA board was a bunch of grumpy retirement or near retirement age blue collar types who'd saved for decades to be able to afford a home in this neighborhood. They simply resented that we could easily afford such a home at a young age. They basically invented rules to make trouble for us. Of course, they weren't universally enforced and many people got to do whatever the hell they wanted.
Needless to say, we won without an attorney due to countless hours of legal research on our parts. I pretty much had to give up my free time for a period of months to win this thing. I could have hired an attorney, but then I'd have wanted to sue for fees afterwords and it would have become a bigger mess.
Anyway, I'll never live in an HOA again. Stories like mine are simply too common.
I pulled this up from an old thread. I tried to skim through it. I didn't fully understand what was written though.
True, it's difficult to read but I wasn't able to find that it requires an HOA, in fact part of the statute explains how to legally disband an HOA. The best I could tell, it gives the rights and ability to create 'planned communities' with HOA's as enforcement but I just don't see where it's the law that every community must have one.
