Being forced to sign away property rights as a condition of sale is not voluntary.

So why not make them voluntary?

That would be moronic, and defeat the whole benefit enjoyed by the owner who adopted the restrictions.

When I buy into a HOA, the developer promises me that the neighbors will abide by certain rules.

Why would I want their obedience to be voluntary? That would be meaningless, I I'd be looking at tacky yard gnomes and far worse.

PLEASE, have some sense of freedom, and let those of us with wealth and taste gather together under rules we wish. Let go of your economic resentment, and just let us be in peace.
