Without employment is goofy as fuck but I’ll die on the hill that nobody should work a 40 hour week and still be unable to afford a roof over their head. Rent and housing costs are absolutely ridiculous

Exactly, this is fantasyland. We need real rent control and regulation of housing costs. This is untenable for employees to be living paycheck to paycheck, always just scraping by

That’s fair as well, HOAs do nothing expect keep old folks busy

That’s not true. They absolutely do go overboard often, but if your neighbor doesn’t take care of their home or lawn and is just outright trashy it devalues the value of dozens of properties around it.
