“Then you should have no problem with anything anyone does...”
Now that’s a weak come back.
To be against one more layer of fussbudgetry and regulation isn’t the same as being for anything.
You may note that the Founding Fathers / Framers were against added governance except for what couldn’t be done locally (or more locally). But neither were they overly fond of lots of fussbudgetry from those nearby.
Moreover your beloved HOAs do not reduce or remove or replace any of the fussbudgetry of local government ... city that is. No, but if they did that would be something, yet what they do is ... just ... add ... more.
And frankly while you may want to live with a proverbial extra condom forced down on your neighbors in addition to what city, county and state already does ... I do not.
And I don’t appreciate the attitude whereby HOAs are forced on a minority of residents.
