        I don’t live in an HOA but my home’s value went up $150k over the last couple years for absolutely nothing. It would be cool if a tiny portion of that increase was at least due to something like solar panels being installed.

            I do have sympathy for people that vote NO on large capital expense assessments because its expensive for them and then have to come up with the money anyways.

          I love how you used the entire argument against HOAs to argue against HOAs, yet still got downvoted.

          I appreciated the irony.

            The issue some likely have is that moving to be able to have solar panels isn’t the answer. If you bought a home in the 80s, 90s the HOA likely didn’t have any rules for or against solar panels. Selling your house and moving elsewhere is a huge burden and can also be a high cost. Having to have a political movement in your neighborhood to lower costs on electricity and protect the environment a bit at the same time shouldn’t require you to allot more time and effort .
