On: Florida lawmaker floats ban on HOAs amid growing backlash

[delichon]

Our HOA maintains the roads and the community water system. The county is unwilling to do either. Without the HOA I'd need a specialized vehicle to get through the mud to my driveway in the rainy season, and I'd have to haul in my water, because it's too deep for me to afford a well. So I'd probably end up living elsewhere.

Those are both functions of the local government. If the county approved the development, they need to maintain the infrastructure.
