>>222052802>freeNigga he is paying money for that lawn, that ain't free
>>222052802The only new housing zones cities approve are HOA developments because then the city doesn't need to maintain the area or provide community amenities. There's no incentive to change this because boomers are the only ones who vote in city elections and they love HOAs.
>>222052932>city electionsHow does it work iyc
>>222052802I literally don't understand what's going on in the picture or ITT
>>222052932now that boomers are going broke from all the money printing they voted for, they're starting to make laws that dissolve HOAs and cut their property tax to 0
>>222053317He pays a fee to the homeowners association who in turn should maintain the neighborhood with the money. He then went for a walk with his dog, and found grass that was not cut for a while and felt outraged.
>>222052802>Americans brag about paying lower taxes>have to shell out $6k/yr to the local Karen in "not property tax"
>>222053348They have been tricked into thinking the only source of oppression is the state
>>222052802HOAs are cucked and living in a shitty old house is way better
My mom got arrested because she’s in a blood feud with the entire rest of their HOA and wouldn’t stop screaming obscenities at their houses whenever she walked past them
>>222053450Defend her honour and murder them
>>222053450>>222053471
>>222052802I don't understand why anyone would willingly live in a HOA area, bunch of mindless retards
>>222053450>blood feud>no blood spilledlarp larp sahur
>>222053450>america has no so-
>>222054436>Codes enforcement officer>Driving a tank in the suburbsOkay
>>222052802AMERICANS GO TO JAIL IF THEY TANK LESS THAN 4 GALLONS OF FUEL
>>222054583ethanol fuel is heavily subsidised
>>222052802stop letting your dog fertilise it then you stupid bint
>>222053347It thought the HOA was a neighborhood police that sent you to jail if you dont mow your lawn, not the other way around
>>222052802>Land of the pee>Home of the knave
>>222052802did you know we have HOAs in germany called WEGs? i pay 350 monthly to mine but it includes heating garbage collection and other stuff like facade repairs and maintenance of the building
>>222053347Kek
>>222056194Me too. Now I see why Americans need all of these guns, there's a lot of treachery and screaming and scamming going on that you aren't allowed to do anything about
>>222053450
>>222054436i think of this more often than i think of rome
>>222056230WEGs are for small commie blocks though, where its one house with 10 apartments and all 10 tenants own a part of the house. in america HOAs own a set of 200 detached one family houses and basically control the entire neighbourhood like a kleingartenverein in germany with autistic rules at to what plants youre allowed to grow in your garden and how high the trees and hedges are allowed to get etc.
>>222056194I imagine they police you about your own lawn, but they're responsible for common spaces (they outsource it to illegals and pocket the difference as salaries for their 'work').
>>222053450your mom is a legend, call her and tell her we love her
>>222056113>guy wastes precious ground water in the middle of a dry desert that is known for its extreme water scarcity>local people try to stop him from endangering the local water supply>some tabloid journalists reframes this into him being actually the good guysome frenchie from the other side of the planet falls for it.
>>222054508It's clearly an armored personel carrier, THOUGH. A tank would be overkill. Yuropoor police are too poor to get APCs?
>>222058996>guy wastes precious ground waterYou can see that he is carrying bottled water
>>222059042i dont believe any "news" articles from some tabloid newspaper that just wants to farm outrage clicks. the hoa there probably has its reasons and i would trust them 10 times more than the story of a journalist that has to attract clicks because his wage depends on it.
>>222054583Is this because of hillbillies using fuel as solvent to make drugs?
>>222059171the New York Post's typical readership incentivizes them to look at everything through a rightoid POV, which this article decidedly is not, so I believe their accounting of events is more true than inaccurate
>>222059313it's only at pumps that dispense 2 different grades of fuel that contain ethanol (I had to look this up because I had never seen it before)supposedly too much of one blend over another will kill your car so it needs to be diluted
>>222056230I pay ~8k in a renovation fund every year for my mountain apartment. Some major works are going to be done in the next two years, which total about 700k. So this year it's 16k.
>>222056230in europe they dont have any special privileges, its just for managing communal spaces
>grow up in hoa>parents pay 100$ a month>no parks>potholes everywhere>the only maintenance is when they pay some illegals to mow the grass around the retention ponds>nobody in the neighborhood has an issuethey literally just collect money for doing nothing
>>222061097It boggles my mind we claim to have more freedom than Europe, while being enslaved to HOAs and other things Euros don't suffer from.
>>222061344And many get kickbacks for awarding the mowing contract to a certain company. I heard of HOA leaders secretly get their personal lawns mowed for free in exchange for charging an outrageous price on mowing the community areas.
>>222061344My brother owns a small apartment and it is 60€ a month for a huge co-ownership with a pool and lots of green spaces that are taken care of. I think it includes the janny, electricity and renovation of communal places as well. It's not too bad imo. The place is always clean.
>>222056230>in germany called WEGsYes i know. There are a lot of german laws that you can read if you google "adult games"
>>222062043kek
Iirc, the HOA’s role is to keep diversity out of white areas
>>222058948so they don't want the government to do it so instead they pay 500 bucks a fucking month to someone else to do it instead?
>>222053331If there's no HOA and 0 property tax, who the fuck is paying for the infrastructure and maintenance?
>>222054436>*krrh* HENLO? THIS IS OFFICER BURGER! WE'RE HERE TO ADDRESS YOUR TALL GRASS! :DDD>FUCK YOU, DON'T TREAD ON ME! *draws a handgun*>OKAY! :DDD *mini-gun fire*
>>222062207Just let nature do the work or the government
you know HOAs are fucking retarded when even we didnt take that shit from the americans
>>222052802OH DITES VOYEZ VOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSPAR LA PREMIERE LUEUR DE L'AUBE
>>222058996>The HOA said it has no problem with Martin handing out water, but stated he cannot advertise such projects on his lawn.>“The Association does not object to a resident providing water bottles within the community; however, the community’s rules do not allow a resident to advertise water bottle distribution from a portable ice chest, located next to their garage that is visible from neighboring property,” the board said in a statement to the outlet.The article says nothing about it being wasteful. How the fuck is giving people drinking water wasteful anyway?
>>222061348its the difference between individualist freedom and collectivist freedomthe latter always resulting in more individual freedomlike with public transport, even if you dont need it as an individual, the collective benefits of improved freedom of movement still apply
>>222052802>land of the freeyea, dogs are free.
>>222053450Should have become priestess of her own religion, and their mass const in public obscenities like projecting the most harcore porn avsilsble against the garsge door.
>>222062592america doesnt know the same religious freedom as europeif you are not one of their weird sects of christianity, you do not have any freedom at all and will likely be persecuted
>>222052942anything with a pulse can enter to be mayor or councillor or whatever, any citizen can go cast ballots. kind of simple process ngl.
>>222053348You can live in niggahoodville where they don't have such surcharges however
>>222062207Suburbs already aren't paying for their own infrastructure and maintenance https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023-7-6-stop-subsidizing-suburban-development-charge-it-what-it-costs
>>222056230>i pay 350 monthly to mineAnd what do you pay for house debt?
this thread made me chuckle, what a surreal shithole that country is
>>222053450Wtf I didn't know foids could be based
>>222063150nothing i didnt use a mortgage
>>222053450Your mom is based, you should honor her warrior soul and murder each and every one of the HOA members with extreme violence.
>>222064027How about bills? What do they cost?
>>222063319at least we have houses
>>222058999why do you need armoured vehicels in suburbs, do you live in a warzone?
>>222066674because we want one. why can't foreigners understand this concept?
>>222066875we too, for riot control and counter terrorism. not to patrol some random streets like it's afghanistan where an IED might go off at any moment
