To people who eat eggs: it's currently in your best interest to boycott eggs. Hands-down, no question.
eggs are already boycotting themselves
Or we need to restructure HOAs so people can have a couple hens in the backyard
Honestly for the most part we need to not have HOAs. They offer very little benefit - if any - to most folks, especially in single family homes. I refuse to buy anywhere that has an HOA.
Maybe a slight use case in apartment complexes and such with legitimately shared areas, but even there HOA dues should be exclusively for repairs and maintenance to shared areas. They should not be fining people for their garden gnomes being an inch taller than regulation or any of that bullshit they’re infamous for.
And those apartment complexes etc probably don’t have the yard space for chickens anyway so they’re not really who we’re hoping to help in this context
I looked it up, and unfortunately, the houses subject to an HoA have a slight price premium. People are willing to pay more to live in an HOA neighborhood. Originally, the reason was to keep non-Caucasian people out with restrictive rules, but since that's been ruled illegal, perhaps the perceived benefit is things like pools and tennis courts and keeping poor people out?
