I genuinely wonder some days when US folks are going to rage and burn it all down. What a brutal episode about the offloading of municipal state responsibilities to little fiefdoms a.k.a. Home Owners' Associations, and the for-profit management firms that feed off them. https://youtu.be/qrizmAo17Os
Last year I wrote a bit about autonomous zones as ways for private industry to siphon off property and government funding for white-elephant city-building projects that essentially exist to launder money and offer extra-legal pathways for illegal ventures up to and including human trafficking.
This episode was a crushing reminder that autonomous zones aren't even necessary, when states freely contract out key oversight activities in local districts, too. What a broken world.
@yogapaddlerun @misslovelymess I'm so glad you got out!
@MLClark @misslovelymess I was in a HOA. Never again.
