The condo I owned in CT had a homeowners association that turned over the maintenance to a management company to do all the necessary work around the condo. The management company was a nightmare to deal with, and the homeowners association became a dictatorship, with the board forming their own clique, of yes people. They hung out together and made decisions, despite what the homeowners wanted.

Give me a single family home where I can take care of what needs to be done, and not have the heartache of listening to people, who don't have my interest at heart but theirs.

Some people like to have everything taken care of such as maintenance and that works, if the management company does a good job at a fair price. To each his/her own.

Some people may say TV works the same way with it's restrictions, but I don't find them to be so intrusive, into one's life. Some rules avoid chaos and instill a uniformity, to protect our investment/s. I would want to live next to someone who paints their house purple with pink polka dots, but that's just me.
