For a time when we lived in California, our home was governed by an HOA. This is no one’s first choice. No child declares the house they molded in the sandbox was part of an HOA. HOAs are not depicted in anyone’s American Dream, which is not to say that HOAs do not have some virtue. While we assuredly did not intend on painting our house pink, maybe we had some measure of satisfaction knowing our neighbor could not either.

Dateline Stockbridge: I came to the village 50 years ago. In a half-century I learned its old ways and watched them change. Norman Rockwell images made Stockbridge America’s hometown.
