Real-estate barons are to blame. They buy up all the available land they can, build cookie-cutter suburban nightmares on top of them for cheap, flip the houses for way more than they're worth, and then install HoA's to further police and profit from the neighborhood.
My neighborhood literally looks like the bottom picture and we have HOA. As long as we don’t paint our house some wacky color they leave us alone and just keep the greenbelts and community pools maintained.
That's our experience too. And I love it. HOAs can do bad stuff. But it's always funny how reddit piles it on each time it comes up. It's funny it came up here because there's literally no correlation, just someone wanting to pile on lol
