Looking in at the USA from the outside it seams weird that you guys like freedom and are willing to defend it, yet let things like HOAs exist and stupid shit like jay walking.
Americans are you ok?
No, we're not, send help.
Or help me get citizenship elsewhere.
Sending hopes and prayers, that should work?
It didn't work! Maybe if you send more guns?
Depending on your skill set, there might not be a lot of western nations willing to take you in..........
Yeah, understandable. It would be software engineering.
HOAs help keep minorities and the working class out so of course certain types of people love them.
More often though they just plow the snow so most people love them.
Never heard of a residents’ association? They’re common in many countries around the world.
If you think this is a uniquely American thing, you’re sorely mistaken.
Oh yeah we have something similar, but they have no teeth, more like a volunteer lobby group. Then we have parish councils, they can be complete knobs, but there power is tightly controlled through actual laws and legislation. Most of the other types are management companies that oversee things like a block of flats (condo/apartments). Its very strange to have something that covers separate houses.
No. No we are not. Wanna adopt me?
Psssshhhhhhh, yes! Are you kidding??? We're great.....America is great.......
California burning behind me, an open facist is possibly a few days away from becoming president, the housing market has become increasingly not available to the general public, corporations increasingly removing our ability to own ANYTHING without a subscription and internet connection, even if it doesn't make sense.....like a bluetooth connected mop
We're fiiiiiiiiine.
Keep in mind that the internet is full of a caricature version/rage bait. I’m sure I could find examples online of people doing dumb shit in your country. That doesn’t mean it represents everyday life of normal people.
Unfortunately doing dumb shit is a bit of a hobby for most people in the uk
