ParticipantThere are going to be homes there someday. Last I heard that land isn’t claimed by any of the active developers (yet).

Sorry, but it sounds the same to me. If you want to be original, you’re screwed in such area. If you like to conform, then such area would be great. I paid for my house with my money, so I don’t like to have people tell me what I can and can’t do with my house, be it paint, window covering, trees, etc.[/quote]Conform? Can’t be original? Please.
Yes, there are certain things you cannot do. It’s intentional, because while you might think your original thinking is grand – everyone else on the block might disagree.
Want to do whatever you feel like, and are happy for your neighbors to do the same? Don’t buy into an HOA.
Want the general scheme of the neighborhood to be kept, the parks maintained, no RVs in front of your house, no satellite dishes on every roof, no cars parked on the front lawn, no crazy paint jobs, etc? An HOA might be attractive.
You wouldn’t be upset if your neighbor painted their house hot pink, their fence snot green, put a car up on blocks on the front lawn, and a 30 foot satellite dish in their backyard?
I’ve seen some crazy stuff driving around looking for houses. You might like your neighbors style today… you might not your next, and good luck selling if you live next to the circus.

My argument is that the same level of service would cost less than $80/month, or that you would get more for $80/month if you had market forces other than cronyism at work.[/quote]I’m pretty sure there are countless services out there that could be done better, and cheaper.
Yes I’d absolutely rather pay $40/mo vs. $80/mo for the same service if I could.
However, my options today are either pay $0/mo and hope my neighbors and neighborhood take care of themselves. Or, pay $80/mo to ensure that one of my neighbors doesn’t turn their garage into a Tommy Behama retail store every weekend or fall in love with hot pink stucco.
Given those choices, I’d rather over pay then not pay at all.
