Property Values?
Waneka Landing, Lafayette, Colorado.
Satellite antenna dish in full view - a violation of the HOA rules.
However, the over-zealous HOA's have been trumped by the US government on satellite dishes. I hope we eventually abolish HOA's totally. Most buyers don't realize just how many of their property rights they give up when moving into an HOA regulated house. Yes, they do some good but it's not worth the loss of freedom. Mostly the dues go to friends of the HOA members who do property management and/or landscaping.
Which is more important to property values? No control so homeowners can do what they please, accepting that sometimes homeowners may do something to reduce the beauty fo the neighborhood? Or tight control like a Stalinist stae where everything is highly regulated by a central committee?
