Some Mexican families bought a new home in my neighborhood. I use the plural because the restrictions are one family per home. They sheetrocked the walk 2 feet behind the garage door. Many time they leave the garage door open and you can see studs and insulation. The HOA is getting the problem fixed. So, I can’t complain too much about the HOA.
See your point, but that will only be good until the hoa determines there is a problem with your own property. Then it will be (should be) “what business is it of yours if I want to paint my door red or plant a certain variety of bush...”
Thought this whole thing was about building/making a home, and not about the property values.

The horror. End times are definitely upon us /sarc
