HOA Secession from Local Government: The future of Planned Communities?
"[I]n the future, more complete forms of private secession may become possible. For example, if neighborhood associations become more numerous, the political pressures for substantial rebates from property taxes - for relief from the current system of 'double taxation' - are bound to grow."
Private Neighborhoods and the Transformation of Local Government, Robert H. Nelson, (Urban Institute Press 2005).
The view that planned communities are equivalent to principalities is strongly presented in the book. Six chapters are reviewed from Parts V, Creating HOA Constitutions, and VI, Neighborhood Asociations in American Life, that include chapter titles of: Neighborhood Legislature, Freedom of Neighborhood Association, A Democracy of Property Owners and Neighborhood Secession.
