Theoretically, HOAs could be the basis of grassroots democracy, bottom-up town halls and councils to hold the powerful in check
This could allow us to focus on Local information instead of being psyopped by The Current Thing
Conspiracy theory: HOAs (homeowners associations) have been infiltrated intentionally by cringe stupid Karens to prevent this level of mass consciousness from arising from below. if I was George Soros I would pay Karens to disrupt HOA meetings with stupid bullshit.
So too has there been a coordinated propaganda campaign to make HOAs associated with Karens.
