BTW...I bet your neighbors love you when you stand for taking even more money out of their wallets. I too, live in a HOA, ALL the infrastructure,sewer, water storm drains, street cleaning , plowing,street lighting, including the installation costs of the poles , including liability insurance are and were paid for ..not by the Town, but by the residents of the HOA, so why shouldnt we be entitled to some cost relief!! There are strict standards residents must abide by to maintain their homes with an effective enforcement policy, unlike that of so many municipal housing court timetables that allow properties to continue to deteriorate and affecting the value of adjoining properties. HOA owners are confident in that their elected board members that also residents in the HOA and have a vested interest in maintaining the value and integrity of their properties .
There is much to be said for living in a structured living style/HOA, and many reasons why much of the tax discount we enjoy, are legitimate entitlements!
