I serve on my HOA and our President just called me and essentially cussed me out because I'm having a Q&A for people who want to run to be on the board because, in her words, "You could have just told people to come to me" and "You didnt ask for anyone else's input" despite the fact that I did and she just never responded to my email about the idea.

@BlackAzizAnansi I swear that HOAs are effectively privatized government. But seriously, why would you need to talk to her about talking to people about running for the board?

@gordotango @BlackAzizAnansi that's exactly what an HOA is, a shadow government which doesn't have to achieve the same standards of ethics that the regular government holds itself accountable to. They were created to get around civil rights protections that even a shit government would hold itself accountable to, they are intentionally worse.

@raven667 @gordotango @BlackAzizAnansi You could take that the other way. States are just HOAs with guns
