Yeah, but what happens when the day comes you cannot but into anything that isn't HOA?
Ever read Agenda 21?
Who, grants HOA's their power?

Absurd premise leads to absurd results. HOAs exist only as much as there is perceived free-market demand for what they offer. Most HOA rules even provide a process for their own dissolution. The vast majority of residences and residential lots are not in HOAs.

Make your point, instead of trying to disqualify me.
>>Who, grants HOA’s their power?
The private property owner who owned the land that was subdivided into the lots. Anyone opposed to HOAs is basically opposed to private property rights.
In Virginia POAs have limited power by law. Not all POA's follow the law and there are still ways to abuse power, but the law (about 5 or 10 years old) has shifted some power back to homeowners.
You do.
Or more precisely, any person who decides to buy a house in a neighborhood that includes common property that needs to be managed for the entire community.
Sadly, whenever you enter into a partnership, there needs to be some form of control associated with the partnership.
The best way to avoid the tyranny of an HOA is to not move into an HOA neighborhood. You will be happier, and the people who like having shared property and some measure of control over the community will also be happier.
The second best way, if you move into an HOA community, is to run for office. Then you can be the benevolent representative you think people will want.
>>Who, grants HOA’s their power? <<
The homeowners who buy property that is listed HOA. STAY AWAY from HOA’s and you won’t ever have any trouble with the board.
What you want to do is buy a property that has at one time been sold under a tax lien ,,, tax sales quash all existing contracts including all powers of a HOA to control. This is nearly universal in the US as local governments want full control with no strings attached when they take a property.
