The weekly poll is appealing is at a neighborhood meeting. Go rescue it.

This week’s topic is about HOAs and whether or not you have one. I live in an older neighborhood and we have a voluntary association, which means no mandatory fees and very few rules, but usually low participation & support when it comes to fighting things like speeding and KUB tree trimming (don’t get me started). On the other end of the spectrum, I recently listed a home in a newer condo community where HOA membership is mandatory, which in this case means mandtaory – and quite steep – fees, and lots and lots of rules, like no signs from naughty Realtors pointing the way to their listings allowed. Boo.

So what about you? Do you have a homeowner’s or neighborhood association where you live? If so, is it mandatory or voluntary? And most importantly, do you actually think it’s making your neighborhood a better place to live? Case your vote and let me know.
