For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

The nice thing is tho, if a neighborhood is built without one, it's almost impossible to start one. So if we had a way to focus on the shitty developers who want to attract white flight by making racist HOAs, we could see progress. But we can't do things like that, those developers are in charge.
A big part of the problem is that local governments often encourage HOAs so that they can shirk their duty to provide infrastructure.
