H.O.A.s should have no power to even exist.

Then you have a problem with people voluntarily entering into contracts with each other then?

"Then you have a problem with people voluntarily entering into contracts with each other then?"

People who voluntarily enter agreements with HOA are foolish much like people who would give up their personal freedoms guaranteed by the constitution for security are foolish.
Such people can not be free because they subject themselves to others who would take every thing they work for. HOA's are full of thieves and power hungry peoples who would take a man's home to enrich themselves. Liberals use these HOA's much like robbers of yesteryears who had fiefdoms; near as I can tell.
