State lawmakers passed the law after a North Texas homeowners’ association barred landlords from renting to Section 8 tenants. Most of the affected tenants in that neighborhood were Black.
They are valuable in shared community situations, such as townhouse communities (wherein one home abutts another) and condos. In these situations, there are shared elements which need to be funded and enforced somehow (would you want to live in a townhouse where your neighbor has rats? Would you want to live in a condo with no funding to maintain the building?).
I’d be pretty okay with banning them outside of those sorts of circumstances.

We have condo boards in Canada. I think HOAs have way more power than condo boards.
