I've been looking at condos lately and HOA fees are ridiculous. With the fees being what they are, I'd be better off just buying a more expensive single family home, but I don't want all that space like George Carlin talks about in that bit of his. 

Depends what is included for those fees.

Sanitation, Snow/Lawn Care, Outside Maintenance, Hazard Insurance, Water/Sewer, Building Exterior is the bare minimum they seem to all cover, and a lot of what I look like, that's all they offer. The prices for these range from $200 to $500. Some have a pool but I don't really care about that.

Yeah that’s pretty pricey for that.

$100-200 for lawn+snow+exterior maintenance is not bad at all. As someone with no HOA, I’d gladly pay that much to have that stuff taken care of. Water/sewer and garbage is generally 40-50 per month for me.

more than 300 without any other utilities or amenities is steep.

a single family home is MUCH harder and more expensive to maintain than a condo though, so it probably balances out. Over the last 7 years I’ve had to replace my furnace, AC, roof, windows, and half the floors. Probably over 20k and SO much time

A home is just a place to hold your stuff while you go out and get more stuff.

I'd never want an HOA. If I'm buying my home, I'll be damned if someone can tell me what I can or cannot do.

The value in an HOA is when they tell your crappy neighbors what they can and cannot do. I haven’t run into anything I wanted to do and couldn’t because of my HOA. They also maintain my yard for me.

I don’t get why, but Taco Bell is just as busy as Chick Fil A at dinner time around here. The lines rival In N Out in CA. I would understand 12am-2am, but people are actually going for dinner.

Yeah that’s gross. Taco Bell is drunk food. No exceptions.

Yeah, most of the time condo associations are great. Only time its ever a problem is if you get some jerk on a power trip or if they don't do anything about the morons. Neither is a common occurrence from what I've seen.

Yeah, I'm not a fan. My only experience with one was some jerk on a power trip harassing people because she had nothing better to do.
