Exactly. You knew moving in there’s a HOA and probably had to sign for the HOA rules or by-laws. Don’t like it (and I don’t), don’t live in an HOA, or follow the rules and vote in new leadership.
I've lived under two HOAs. Never had a problem with either of them. The rules were simple. Don't do anything that decreases my property value.
Mow your grass. Don't paint your house pink. Don't have cars on cinder blocks in the front yard. Don't operate a Facebook Marketplace general store out of your driveway 7 days a week. Don't house 30 illegals sleeping on your floors.
I've managed to abide by the rules and I've never received a violation, ever.
