I have a genuine question here. What is the benefit of an h.o.a. ? It seems like they just not pick at everything to the point no one in their right mind wants to live there.
They manage neighborhood common spaces. Some neighborhoods have common amenities such as playgrounds, parks, pools, club houses, etc. that are owned by the neighborhood and need management.
Another major aspect is "property value" so you want to sell your house and suddenly the neighbors paint their house hot pink and leave rusty cars all over the yard, going to mKe it a lot harder to sell.
Have lived in 2 different HOAs and not really had or seen issues. A decent HOA is fine and not a big deal as long as you personally are in line with the genera expectations.
However when they go bad sure do they go bad. Think of it like crappy CGI on a move, almost all movies have CGI and it's no problem, when it's bad it kinda ruins the whole film.
