Because they are retired Yankees from big cities that are accustomed to being told what to do. I'm pretty sure there are plenty HOAs south of your imaginary Mason-Dixon Line. That's where Yankees retire to. When my F-I-L from MN used to winter in Punta Gorda, FL, he was known in his little retirement community as the one-eyed Yankee (Glaucoma) but I assure you, it was a term of endearment.

I understand reservations about HOA's but sometimes they are there for a reason and I'm happy about that. Sometimes they might suck, depending on what a person is trying to get away with.
I have "freedom" property too completely exempt from taxes under the flag and blue skies.
I have faith in God, but even after twenty years plus in the Military, I have nothing left for the flag.

HOA can be beyond stupid. And even worse than .gov.
The only thing worse than an HOA are the Urban Renewal Districts! But I'll leave that for another thread.

Bob,
I came to the conclusion there is no hope, just enjoy the rest of your life, based on something recently. As I said above, I am tax exempt for various reasons, recently an entity sent me a bill for a "fee". They can change the verbiage and rules and you will never win.
The will be taxes, insurance, and fees, we are screwed!

Some HOA's have houses that are quite different from each other. Their purpose is to keep them neat, weeds removed, trash removed, repairs kept up, etc. Those aren't too bad. But when you see a bunch of houses or condos all essentially alike, all about the same color, with no cars in the driveways, the same kind of tree in each front yard,and stuff like that, you can be sure that the rules are far more rigid.
A few years ago, the town of Ketchum, ID (next door to Sun Valley) decided they needed to 'clean up'. The city is run like an HOA. They tried to pass a city ordinance requiring all vehicles, including RV's, boats, etc. be inside a closed garage. Many are now kept behind fences but that wasn't good enough. The corps of contractors loved the idea of building a few thousand garages but the people came out in force in open rebellion. It didn't go very far.

I moved my primary residence to be closer to grandkids, hospitals, and airport. I know there is mucho controversy over HOA's and I'm a person that everyone I know had odds on how long I could take it. Its worked out well. I've yet to kill a feral k-9, my pool is clean, and a few other benefits. Hell, I even have a garbage man and pizza delivery now.
I've pondered the situation because I bucked the odds and discovered, I'd rather live with an HOA than crappy neighbors.

No way I would or could live under an HOA. I'd kill somebody.
A fellow I used to work with bought a place in a gated "planned community" under an HOA mainly to please his wife who was raised in NYC and was afraid of all the "country people" that stopped by their place to visit.
Now, instead of the neighbors bringing by garden stuff in the summer and deer hams in the fall he gets to put up with the HOA Enforcer raising hell and issuing fines because the grass is an 1/8th of an inch too long or the wife's SUV is parked facing the wrong direction in the driveway.
And, as you might surmise, the HOA Enforcer is a transplanted Yankee from New Jersey.

That's the other thing, folks here always seem to assume that people 'sign' up for it, not 100% the case. Guessing some folks have never heard of inheritance. For sale. You do know that ain't the same as sold, right?

I'd rather not have neighbors, pretty simple really. If a person is an [bleep], they are an [bleep], regardless of HOA or not.

If you don't like HOA, you can move. The real bad 3 letters is EPA, that is where all the energy should be focused to eliminate the most worthless 3 letters...

Rock Chuck, all my neighbors know that I was in prison for over twenty years for robbery and sex crimes, I have no problem with them whatsoever. All kidding aside, I have a system that will make living in an HOA community decent, assure you never get robbed, little interaction with neighbors, and always get a good nights sleep.
