I’ve never seen the words HOA and lobbyist used in conjunction. Pure horror

HOA industry? Fuck that noise.

There are HOA management companies. They work kind of like rental property management, but messing with property people actually own, so the board doesn't actually have to do anything. They often go ham on handing out fines to justify their existence to the board-they probably get a cut off the fines. Most of those horror stories you hear are due to these companies.

John Oliver did an episode on them a few years back.
