Why do these independent type people move into a HOA?
HOA’s need to require all buyers to sign a statement that they have read the association documents and agree to them.
Of course any buyer with a few brain cells would have already read the HOA documents but there are always a few who agree to the terms and then whine that they never read them.
Our HOA selectively enforces rules, mostly to keep college kids from starting party houses. We’ve had a couple which is unusual for a neighborhood with million dollar houses.
