\u201cA buddy of mine found a dead coyote in the desert. She rolled all around in the carcass, to capture the scent. She still smelled better than New\u00a0York.\u201d<\/p><\/div>Here’s something that happens all the time: An HOA gets high-handed, so people start selling to get out from under it, pulling resale prices down. To stanch the blood, the homeowners elect a new, better-behaved board-of-directors. In due course, prices recover.<\/p>\n

Hurray! That is successfully-self-correcting government, a phenomenon too-rarely seen at higher levels of high-handedness. Half of it happens \u2013 the exodus \u2013 but since it’s an exodus of Ants, the Grasshoppers left behind in places like Detroit \u2013 and now New York, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, etc. \u2013 don’t know what’s killing them \u2013 so they vote for more of it.<\/p>\n

Alas, the Grasshoppers will always be with us. Liberty, what’s left of it, is the freedom of Ants to escape the predations of Grasshoppers.<\/p>\n
