The ideal is no HOA. But… that’s hard to find if you want to live anywhere that is semi-rural, suburban or urban. So, yes, most people are forced to accept one shitty HOA ruleset or another. And even when you do sign that contract (“or you don’t live here”), HOA rules are ever-changing. What you signed will likely eventually change to something you certainly don’t agree with. You only have so much control. And if you are a person who wants to avoid politics and not be governed by idiots with clipboards… tough! Yes, it is a lot to expect people to do all that and like it.
