Agree. I always get so annoyed when someone says that about HOA's. Don't buy a house in a subdivision with an HOA if you feel that way about them. It's not like you buy a house and then realize you were bamboozled because there is an HOA. I live in a neighborhood with a pretty strict, self-managed HOA. Many people want to live in my subdivision because the houses all look so well kept but it is because of the HOA the houses look the way they do. People want to reap the rewards of the rules but not follow them when it comes to THEIR decisions. It's very frustrating.
True, I do. But the stories my friends have who don’t 🤣 would keep the screenwriters for soap operas busy anyway. One friend has two HOA’s. Their primary and their lake house- and the evil person is in both as well! But of course, first world problem. Makes some good conversation over wine and cheese. My “hoa” just eat my plants every winter and leave turd pellets around and produce cute spotted babies every spring.
When we moved to our little ranch I specifically picked a place with NO HOA...I love my lifted, jacked up trucks and so do my neighbors. On a scale of yee yee with one being HOA ville with bentleys and karens and foofoo dogs and 5 being lynrd and skynnrd and toilets in the front yard we are probably a solid 3.
We are at the very edge of the city so it was a pain to build our shop and add electricity to it
They are a choice. One can choose to avoid them.

We certainly did! No HOA for us, ever, if at all possible!
