> Unions are democratic organizations

In my experience, democratic organizations are complete garbage. Every experience I've had with local government/HOAs has been a disappointing at best.

I get that some democratic organizations are necessary. But adding more voluntarily seems to be at best a necessary evil, not something to list as a positive.

As far as I'm aware, most HOAs were imposed from above by the home builder rather than coming into existence via grassroots organization of the home owners.
