What can anyone do to free them?

Arm them.

I don't think they're upset at you, just in general.

There's a few of those in the city I live in, they're great.

Privacy. Easy choice for me.

Any HOA can dissolve itself, it merely requires the consent and vote of the board. The rules on how that happens are in the HOA's bylaws. There's nothing in law preventing them from doing so.

This is mostly governed under American contract law.

Any reason is a valid reason

You're going to the wrong bars. All the bars around me have the TVs on but they're muted and none of them show commercials.

There might not be a hard switch, but there's probably a fuse. And if there's not a fuse, there's a power line.

It's not, not if you want to buy the house. The way it works is this:

I'm a property developer and I want to put in a new area of housing. Well that's gonna be expensive up front, roads have to be paved, utilities like power and sewage ran, and houses and common areas built. That's all very expensive, my incentive for doing so is that the property values will remain high. So before I sell a house to anyone, I establish an HOA and require anyone who wishes to buy a house to sign the contract for it. You don't want to sign the contract, you don't buy the house. That contract also includes a stipulation that if you sell the house you have to include the provision for the HOA.

Now HOAs can be dissolved. Once enough people own houses that they can form their own HOA board they are free to do so, and usually do. That board then takes over the control of the content of those contracts including the provision requiring their signing. So if you want to dissolve an HOA you get on the board or lobby your neighbors to do so, call a meeting, and dissolve it. If you can get enough of your neighbors to agree, the HOA is gone.

They absolutely will. The best way to keep people from using violence is engaging them in trade. It's why sanctions do, eventually, work. If the world were to punitively continue not trading with Russia after they've withdrawn what incentive do they have to withdraw? And how long do you think it'd come to blows again, except this time on a more massive scale.

Your attitude, if taken by anyone with any real authority, would be short sighted and dangerous.

Hard to find one without an HOA these days. And HOAs are usually full of people who want to exert power over other people but don't have the intelligence or ambition to climb any higher.

I think the regulations described in section 4 would mostly be good things. They’re the types of settings that I’d prefer to use on my online accounts, at least.

Then put them on your accounts. Any regulation in this area is unacceptable.

When you buy the house you sign a contract giving them authority over certain things. You're bound by the terms of the contract.

I am. And there are plenty of ways to keep them from killing people aside from killing them. There's plenty of people serving life sentences for murder.

Could you not prevent them from causing additional harm by not killing them? What if you're wrong? There's plenty of reason to leave them alive, but only one real reason to kill them, and that reason is vengeance.

If that was a deterrent you wouldn't have people still working for Mexican cartels, would you?

It doesn't, though. There's no evidence that the death penalty serves any sort of deterrent. It isn't a punitive measure, it's vengeance. If you're ok with vengeance I respect your opinion though I disagree, but we can't pretend it's anything but vengeance.

That visceral reaction is exactly why victims or their families can't have input. Of course you'd want them to be punished, of course you'd want it to be cruel and unusual.

While I agree the State shouldn't kill, if someone decided not to spend those millions of dollars and instead took these bastards behind the jail and put a $0.15 bullet in each of their skulls I wouldn't be angry.

You got pretty damn far. Those tensioners can be a bitch, I usually call a buddy whenever I have to muck with one because it's easier to manipulate either the tensioner or the belt. Good job!

Statistically speaking the average human has less than one nut.
