I would like a law that required EVERY bylaw or rule on an HOA, of any kind, to be approved not just by a majority of residents in the HOA who vote on a measure, but by an absolute majority of all the residents in the HOA, and upon initiation of the law, to require those approvals on all the existing bylaws and rules when the law is adopted.
And further, than any 10% or more of HOA residents who later petition to have am existing bylaw or rule put up for a vote, MUST be granted an HOA wide vote in which an absolute majority of HOA residents must vote to keep the bylaw or rule, or it is rescinded and a 2nd vote must be held to consider a replacement bylaw or rule, again which must obtain a majority of HOA residents to put the new bylaw or rule in place.
THAT should clean out much the HOA leeway that allows for ruling cliques and petty dictators.
I believe in real democracy, not controlling cliques and petty dictators, even in an HOA.

Not defending HOA hegemony, but voting on issues can become problematic as most residents seems uninterested in participating in any decisions in my experience. Its often hard to get quorums for meetings.
