We Germans sadly have owner’s associations in appartment buildings that can pull similar shit with the house rules, and also crazy restrictive building codes in some places, dictating how your driveway is allowed to look etc.
My parents kinda has one where they live in Sweden. Except everyone is welcome to the meetings. And it’s mostly about planning, upkeep, and budgeting for snow ploughing, play parks and things like that, instead of relying on the local council to do it. And it’s only for the one street they live on. Definitely no where near what an american HOA is like 😅
HOA are such a crazy concept. There is no such thing in Europe.
Of course there are home owners associations in Europe. They’re just not crazy.
Am in US. I will NEVER own a house with an HOA. NEVER
Why not both? 🤣

Challenge accepted, I just need to find a step ladder to reach!
OTOH, your town planning councils tend to be a lot more restrictive.
In the whole of Europe? That thing that‘s made up by a big bunch of countries, all with very different laws and regulations? Bold claim.
Look up the word bünzli
For real, Switzerland does not nearly get enough shit for being exactly like the stereotypes that actually exist for Germany but even more so

We have them for apartment buildings in Romania. Never heard of any for houses, fortunately.
