Forget a new law banning them. To be honest, the government shouldn't be asked whether or not an HOA can exist. If we want to end HOAs, the best way is a free market solution, without new laws: 1) Don't buy into an HOA. 2) If you're interested in a home that is within an HOA's jurisdiction, ask to purchase it without joining the HOA by terminating the house's association with it. 3) If refused (which you will likely be) don't buy it. 4) Wash, rinse, repeat until the HOA is forced to dissolve due to low membership. 5) Check within all legal channels to ensure the HOA is truly dead and not just legally hiding. 6) If the HOArror is dead, buy.

And you're worrying about food. Let me point out that more than a year ago, we had a case of bacteria in what we thought were tomatoes, but it turned out to be jalapenos from Mexico. The free, unregulated market is still here. You can put as much emphasis on regulation as you want, but problems still leak through despite Teddy Roosevelt's reaction to reading Upton Sinclair's work "The Jungle".

Mr. Stossel, I'm extremely pleased to hear that you're moving to Fox and that they will afford you more freedom to explore free markets than ABC will.

In response to your question about ideas, Thomas Sowell's writings on the effects of price ceilings and floors would be phenomenal. The particular examples provided in "Basic Economics" covered the effects of price ceilings for housing.

I am a believer that many of the future solutions are found by analyzing the past and recognizing the full blown mistakes made by government. Many liberals brush aside free market ideas today by using the calling card of "corporate greed," while frequently ignoring the consequences of excessive regulation, but in the face of historical...
