Professor Gary Solomon, formerly of College of Southern Nevada writes extensively about HOA Syndrome (link). Dr. Solomon describes a variety of symptoms that arise from residing in HOA's including "feeling angry much of the time, sleeping disorders and/or nightmares, fear of going to one’s own mailbox, paranoia,loss of identity,fear of allowing one’s children to play in their own neighborhood" and other symptoms.
I was wondering if others have read or had experience in this area. It's been raised in my HOA, and I wonder.
"Summarily, I believe that all HOA homeowners have been and continue to be damaged, victimized by the Capos and the Masters."
Wow...that's one of the craziest things I have ever read. I've lived in a HOA neighborhood for nearly 22 years and I have had zero contact with the Association board. Never been chided, never been fined, never been damaged (?) or victimized (??). And I don't know anyone who has. My kids play outside whenever they feel like it and I enjoy going to pick up the mail. Good grief, that article was just ridiculous.

It really was a biased and overwrought manifesto under the guise of a scholarly article.

I guess, I have HOA Syndrome, can I sue them?
No, but seriously- I don't feel good in HOA, always felt like they taking my "freedom". Had some issues with the board.
There'll be always people on both sides, people love it, or hate it.
For me, never more.
Those who write satire are probably amused when clueless people take them seriously. There is a minimal level of intelligence required, to recognize satire and parody.
