" And if this urban apartheid seems an oddity just reflect on this: ...' more than half of the housing currently on the market in the fifty largest metropolitan areas in the US... is governed by a common-interest community, a form of residential community association in which membership is mandatory.' It all sounds innocent enough until the regulatory and exclusionary practices of such community associations are brought under the microscope. When that is done it is hard not to conclude with Know that these associations constitute ' a web of servitude regimes that regulate land use and mediate community affairs in what often amounts to a form of contracted fascism.'
...
Social Justice within the urban form is proving, evidently, as elusive as ever, even for those who still have the temerity to be concerned about it."
