Re: Fools With Money said by nixen:Hello? Have you ever actually tried buying housing in NoVA? Many areas, particularly places like Loudon Cty., if you want to buy a house, you're stuck with an HOA (ever wonder why so many houses out there are all beige?). So you are telling me that every single house for sale in Loudoun county is in an HOA. Every single solitary house? Every last square inch of residential real estate is under an HOA? Or more particularly, an HOA which restricts broadband access? Every single house is like that?

I am fully cognizant of the fact that housing in the DC metro area is very costly. My point still is, if you are going to put down that kind of money on a house, and broadband is a big deal for you, then take the time to find out if the house in question meets your needs in that regard.

I think it's just how you worded your post. You imply that anybody that spends over 600k on a house is a moron. Perhaps if you qualified it a little better with your real argument it wouldn't have been interpreted that way.
In any case I don't disagree that people should research their home purchases but at the same time I think it's dumb that you can be forced to pay for something you don't use. For example, if I were to turn my water service off I wouldn't have to pay for it and I don't get it. It sounds like in this case if I don't want the service and I don't get it I still have to pay for it.
My HOA are appearance Nazis and nothing more. In my opinion that's all HOAs should do to protect the neighborhood's housing values. Why the hell would an HOA even want to be involved in a forced service like broadband is pretty dumb and ignorant and now I'll just have to take more note of HOA rules before my next move.
