When urban development is limited to municipal corporations that plan and implement infrastructure locally and network regionally as economies of scale require, with a tax base capable of perpetuating it, as well as a populace smart enough to understand the wisdom of taxpaying for the long-term support of the Founders Intent.
Stand-alone HOAs in the rural, unincorporated areas of Counties is misplaced urbanism. Trying to beat the taxes a City needs to provide high-quality services for all residents and visitors by living out in the county is misguided and ultimately parasitic. Commercial and industrial tax base, people living and working within the same jurisdiction is optimal. Changing residences and jobs during a lifetime all while living in the same City was normal. A metropolitan network of localities can achieve that. Evolution does not stop.
