Probably because they are not one. If someone signs a contract they should read it. If the government goes about changing privately agreed to contracts, the contracts will become as valuable as a land Title in Zimbabwe.
They are indeed a government. They vote, they have an executive, they impose rules based on majority vote, they can levy fines and penalties for non-compliance. They are a government. The only difference is that they can restrict free speech, gun ownership, and other things that "official" local governments cannot do. They are simply a means to have a government that can get around that nasty old Constitution's restrictions on what government's are allowed to do.
There should be no loophole for pseudo-governments that can restrict freedom of speech, displaying the US flag, etc. in exchange for the right to live within its jurisdiction.
Live free, or die.

Freedom does have it's risks, one is the risk of singing and agreeing to a bad contract.
Homeowner associations are creepy, no doubt about it. I can see the need for condo associations to pay for common property.
I just do not like to see private contracts voided, it is an assault on private property.
Sure flying the flag is a "Feel Good" case, but I just do not like private contracts voided. A signature on a contract means a man has given his word, or it means nothing but which way the wind is blowing.

(How can they be called "Homeless" if their home is a field?.)
