I agree and disagree at the same time. Local governments give us bullshit cops who beat up people who don't look the right way, and they give leniency to corporations who take advantage of us. We need something with traits of both without traits from either. We need overall societal restructuring
That's a problem with poorly-functioning, non-representative governments, not governments altogether (not saying that they'd be necessary in an ideal world but we're nowhere close to ideal). Having a private government structure, that is not accountable to the public is not beneficial. The only reason that HOAs don't have worse cops is that they can't afford them with the smaller tax base.
The big problem I see is any organization without adequate accountability
