If you move to a house cause there is a school in the neighborhood, and the next year the school board decides to close that school and consolidate the students in another building, do you have a right to sue someone?
If you voluntarily move into a house you are subject to the local gov'ts whose jurisdiction you are in.
An HOA is just another example. An HOA isn't a fixed set of rules, it is a gov't.
Rules can be added and subtracted according to the HOA's bylaws, etc.

That happened recently in a FL community. They did sue and won the right to send thier kids to a school of thier choice.
First in this country everyone has a right to sue over anything, but that isn't the point. You make a strange comparison between my local elected officials and the house nazis that run HOAs. Cities are usually run by a mayor and city council made up of people with various viewpoints elected from different part of town and are at least in theory accountable to the electorate and often governed in some sense by state and federal laws. HOAs on the otherhand are usually a small of group of busy bodies with too much time on their hands, and an overwhelming desire to make everyone conform to their view of the world.
I do not and will not ever live in a community run by a dictatorial HOA, but I know people who do and never met anyone who was happy about it.
