Lord save us from undergraduates who do not understand the difference between an organization in principle and in practice, who seem to be allergic to understanding historical context, and who seem to be so intellectually incurious as to not even attempt to understand the many elephants in the room outside their "gotcha, I'm actually a purer libertarian than you are because I'm more willing to let an unaccountable organization walk over me, because it's staffed by other unqualified and power-hungry libertarians."
"The HOA premium correlates with the stringency of local land use regulation, local government spending on public goods, and measures of social attitudes toward race"....
One of these things is not like the other. 2 of these seem prosocial and like things that are good mechanisms that should be encouraging for HOA fans.
The world where HOA's have higher property value because they let people do racism more efficiently seems less good. Do we have good estimates on the underlying sources of the higher property values?
Thanks, for writing this up. It was an interesting read.

Undergraduate?
I don't care, a high school student 100 pages into his calculus textbook and 200 pages into Ayn Rand, then.
Are you marginalscr on twitter?
I don't know or care who that is.
