They are also reponsible for maintaining the part that they have a financial interest in. Now, you might think, what about the communal parts? So what you do, is have every person with a financial interest in an inhabitable area of the community, contribute to a fund that is used to handle these communal projects. Of course there has to be someone actually taking tan executive role to make sure these projects are done, perhaps a group of elected individuals. We could call it a habitation renting coalition!

I bet she already has a reputation as a liar in their group anyway. She's torching a good relationship for a reaction she won't get from people who don't care and it wouldn't make her happy anyway.

CharlestheHammer posted:A HOA doesn’t collectively own anything. They are more like a committee given power rather arbitrarily. That's not at all how an HOA works, but nice try. They have a very real title encumbrance on every home in their domain. The reasons for this have a lot to do with municipalities cutting zoning variance deals with developers in order to up the muni tax base while not providing all of the municipal services to the people who live there and forcing them to contract out and pay for those services to private companies. And if they don't the municipality can and will come in and bill them for what they haven't done to the specification of the deal inked with the developer who is now long gone and left the residents to live with this situation.

AITA For Being Upset About Receiving a Cheap Engagement Ringquote:My fiance and I are childhood best friends and we've been together for years. Marriage has always been a topic of discussion, but we finally decided to make it official. He proposed to me earlier this year. I have always been a woman who doesn't care for diamonds or price-points. I told him $10,000 rings didn't matter to me, as long as he truly loved me. Despite the title, I want to say I am not a material person. I have never felt money in an indicator of love. Like c'mon man spring for something more durable than the plastic spider rings on the 5 ticket prize shelf.

Dramatika posted:It was a HOA joke It may have been a joke but it really is how co-ops work. When you buy into a co-op what you're really buying is a number of shares in the legal entity that owns the building, and those shares are accompanied by the exclusive right to occupy a certain apartment. You make recurring payments to the co-op because it's responsible for all the public and non-habitable areas of the building. I think it's even an actual HOA legally, just not one that can be used for abuse because no one has a lawn or an exterior paint job to complain about.

And back to the reason this began in the thread as I understand it: a co-op buy in is not nearly as achievable as "renting an apartment", and a lot of people simply can't achieve that. I sure as hell couldn't for a lot for a lot of my life, so whenever I see the "guillotine all landlords" thing I'm left wondering exactly what the gently caress early 20s me would have done for housing if I didn't have the option to rent. And by that I mean realistically, not in an imagined universe where everything can change immediately and at a whim because you posted about it on the internet and got some likes/comments/upvotes. None of this solves the housing problem, which is all because of financial inequality. People owning/renting multiple properties for profit is a SYMPTOM, not a cause. You don't fix things by treating symptoms. Thank you for listening to my ted talk. Motronic fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Nov 13, 2021 |

AITA for screaming at my sister she's a "poisonous bitch?" and blaming the rest of my family for her behavior?quote:This happened a good while ago but I'm still wondering if I should have just kept my mouth shut or not. I, 26 f, was with my family getting ready for a family meal one evening waiting for my brother and sister, 31 to get home. We're all still living together, she's still looking for a house of her own. When my sister and brother got home, the minute my sister got in the door she immediately started ranting about something my brother had bought, stating it was a waste of money. She kept at it and at it, like she was deliberately causing trouble. Before she came in the door, I had a cup of tea ready for her to be nice, and she never said thank you for that. My mother was so upset about the ranting that she went off to bed. The evening was ruined, everyone was upset by now. The rest of us, including sister, were sitting at the table for a while, she kept taking jibes at everyone and calling the dinner disgusting, making faces, etc. OP must be adopted because backbones are hereditary.

Wait this coop stuff sounds like the same poo poo that's everywhere in Sweden where youre technically buying shares in the building and that allows you to live there. Surprise it doesn't get rid of bad landlords or ludicrously expensive housing. Oh but it does mean theres another layer of approval renters have to go through and all the discrimination that comes with it

A lot of people who give advice on renting seem to be like those women who purposefully let their friend try all their wild ideas for a marriage until it destroyed it so they knew what not to do. Japan is giving out free houses and land and nobody wants it because it turns out when the catch is "oh yeah you live in a community thats been dying for 40 years now and is 4 hours drive from a city big enough to have real stores and jobs" nobody wants it.

Malachite_Dragon posted:But screaming about it makes my pp the big pp therefore it is better than fixing the actual problem I mean it depends on what you do after executing the landlords? Like in Rome, during the proscriptions, they'd execute the landlords and sell the property to other rich well-connected people (like Crassius) so very little changed. In Russia or China the state would seize the properties and rent them out. There's a funny scene in Dr. Zhivago when he returns from the war and finds like four families living in his house. And in Cambodia they'd execute the landlords and then move all the tenants out to the countryside and then execute them for enabling landlords. As you can see there's a wide variety of next steps.

I love it when modern leftists decide that the answer to the housing crisis is co-ops, otherwise known as the only residential legal structure that tends to be more racist and classist than HOAs. Dealing with Co-op committee bullshit is so widely known to be terrible that co-op apartments sell at a discount to comparable condos (in NYC at least).

Dik Hz posted:One of these two is true, if we believe OP: I'm full of horrible DNA (Autism, Major Depression, schizophrenic parent) so I've never wanted to have kids. However, when a partner of mine got pregnant I decided to buckle down and be the best mentally ill dad I could be. Ultimately, it turned out she was faking the whole thing. Then we broke up and I'm pretty sure she faked moving overseas and drowning in a lake. A friend of hers messaged me to tell me about a year later, but I don't know enough details to confirm it one way or the other. I guess the bottom line is: I'm still super relieved that she wasn't pregnant and I can go back to my childless existence, but it possible to not want kids and still recognise you've gotta deal with your new kid. Also from what I understand, being 'childfree' as opposed to just not wanting kids is a whole ~aesthetic~ and I reckon being able to pull off 'fake childfree' to gently caress someone would be the same as being a 'fake socialist' or 'fake religious'. If they're at all skeptical, you're just not gonna get away with it.
