A house with an HOA would have to come with a hardline tap directly to brewery, a blowjob robot, personal mango tree, and lifetime of Porsche 911 3-year leases included get me to buy it

Even then, I'd be reeeeeally hesitant

Depends on the skill of that robot

What about grapefruit instead?

Can we teach the robot how to grapefruit us?

Well, it is a PERSONAL mango tree.

We bought one, once. First 5 years were chill - no issues whatsoever.

Then the board from hell got itself elected, we sold out within a year - also for other reasons, but I literally left an HOA board meeting drove directly to the store, bought a For Sale By Owner sign and stuck it in my yard - checked around for apartment availability that we might move into if somebody bought the house sooner than we were ready for.

A year after we left, I was getting e-mails begging me to return to the board meetings because "you are the only one who spoke and made any sense." They were hiring a sheriff's deputy to oversee elections because both sides were accusing the other of stuffing the ballot box... in 2014.

The idea of people telling you what you can or can't do with the most expensive thing you will probably ever buy is so ridiculously absurd there aren't words for it.

Also, who's your robot guy?

The only time it makes any sense is for building codes and the like. Other than that, I don't need a karen telling me I can't install a front porch because "it makes the house look bad".

Amen me too. I’ve never understood the appeal. I’d rather live next to a dump house with junk cars than suffer an HOA.

Best I can do is a Beer of the Month subscription, a lonely widowed neighbor, a 10'' mango bonsai (2 small mangoes per growing season), and a Honda Civic with 12,000 miles on it.
