 In American real-estate (and several other countries as well) many communities are governed by a **homeowner association** (or **"HOA"**). Homeowner associations are increasingly prevalent in suburban and high-density housing developments. They are generally established around the time the land is subdivided into plots for individual houses. The houses (and the plots they sit on) are all sold under the legal stipulation that the next owner has to remain part of the HOA, pay fees to the HOA, and abide by HOA regulations. The purchaser of the property is also [[tactics:double bind|bound under law]] that any subsequent buyers must agree to HOA governance, or the sale cannot take place - keeping the property looped into these anti-democratic quasi-governments for life. In American real-estate (and several other countries as well) many communities are governed by a **homeowner association** (or **"HOA"**).

 Like many other plagues, this one came from [[hazards:california|California]]. Homeowner associations used to not be so common. However, after the passage of the [[wp>Davis–Stirling Common Interest Development Act]], Californian development firms rallied around the HOA model, which they then exported en-masse to the rest of the country. Thanks again, California. Like many other plagues, this one came from [[hazards:california|California]]. Homeowner associations used to not be so common.

 Homeowner associations are best understood in connection with another aspect of the suburb, the despised **cul-de-sac**. Cul-de-sacs are intentionally designed to reduce the movements of people, and keep them isolated. During martial law, local police department can keep entire communities like this boxed in, with just one or two cop cars parked at the choke-points. Communities like this oftentimes have no social interchange with surrounding communities, ensuring stratification for generations to come. Homeowner associations are best understood in connection with another aspect of the suburb, the despised **cul-de-sac**.
