NEIGHBORHOODS Commentary by Shannon Minnaar In an era where digital connections often overshadow personal ones, strong home- owner associa- tions have become more vital than ever. While HOAs sometimes get a bad rap for enforcing rules about paint colors or lawn maintenance, their true value lies in creating vibrant, connected communities that en- hance property values and quality of life. The most successful HOAs understand that their primary mission extends far be- yond enforcing regulations — they serve as the backbone of neighborhood cohesion. When properly managed, these organiza- tions foster environments where residents naturally connect, creating bonds that transform streets of houses into true com- munities. Children form lasting friendships playing at HOA-maintained parks, while adults discover shared interests at com- munity events. Beyond social benefits, active HOAs play a crucial role in maintaining neighborhood safety and property values. When neigh- bors know each other, they’re more likely to notice suspicious activity and look out for one another’s well-being. This informal neighborhood watch system, combined with consistent property maintenance standards, makes communities more at- tractive to potential buyers and helps pro- The value of strong HOAs Shannon Minnaar is a member of the Carmel City Council.

Through regular meetings, community events and volunteer opportu- nities, residents develop a genuine stake in their neighborhood’s success. Critics may view HOAs as unnecessary bureaucracy, but the evidence suggests otherwise. In an increasingly disconnected world, these organizations provide the structure and opportunity for neighbors to build something greater than themselves. The choice is clear: We can either have neighborhoods where people simply live next to each other, or communities where people actively engage in creating a better place to call home. Strong HOAs make the latter possible. Editor, I have been reading and enjoying Terry Anker’s thoughtful and reflective column in Current for years. Unlike the usual column, he does not provide information about whatever the issue or topic is the subject of the column, then drawing a conclusion for the reader. He presents the issue of the week, like personal and community values and personal responsibility, and poses questions on multiple sides of the is- sue. He then asks the reader to reflect upon the issue and draw his or her own conclusion. I like to refer to this as the thinking person’s column. The reader is an inte- gral part of his columns, not a passive reader.
