HOAs should be a thing of the past.

nah, HOAs should have legally regulated limits on what they can and cannot do, sweden has HOAs too but basically all they do is pool together money to pay for infrastructure in the neighbourhood.

like, i for one quite like having paved roads and functional pipes, but i guess you do you.

Do non HOA homes not have paved roads and working pipes?

There are no such areas, i'm not sure how you envision common infrastructure being maintained without an organization owning it?

Or do you just envision the municipality being in charge of maintaining your street's piping? Have fun waiting half a year for them to get to it when it breaks.

That's how my neighborhood works.

They're usually there within an hour if that happens.

When my wife and I were looking for a house. I automatically filtered any house part of an HOA. They really should be a thing of the past.

Unless actual buildings are attached, they shouldn't exist.

And buildings means a community park with an Olympic sized pool, at least. Only HOA I've ever heard of that made a tiny bit of sense, maintained a park, golf course, and pool for the community that lived there.
