This is the exact reason I told our Real Estate agent: NO HOAs...................
Totalitarian commies!
There’s a way to deal with people like this.
Quietly and late at night.

We moved to an older neighborhood 10 years ago that has no HOA, but it’s a nice area and people are fixing up the older homes (like we did to ours) or at least maintaining them well. We have large lots so you can store RVs and trailers off-street, and no-one seems to mind.
In our old neighborhood, you would get a letter if you left your trailer out overnight. I swear the guy must have been patrolling at 3am.
NEVER live in an area with an HOA.
NEVER.
I think this guy is full of crap. He talks about the “community,” but according to the information in the article he doesn’t even live there anymore and is renting his home to a tenant.
Full disclosure: In my experience, tenant-occupied homes are the source of at least 90% of the problems in an HOA. And in almost every case I’ve read about in media reports like this one, there seems to be one common issue: the homeowner rents the home to a tenant and doesn’t even inform the tenant about the HOA and its regulations.
Rubber hoses or tar & feathers.
C’mon, man.
Good! It is what they get for having a HOA.
That is all pretty much rubbish that is used to justify HOA fees and punishments. HOA boards tend to attract petty tyrants and sociopaths.
What the HOA can do well is proper maintenance of common facilities. Most new subdivisions are built with walkways or small park areas which require care. The cities want nothing to do with such expenses and they get developers to assign them to the HOA that is organized with the subdivision.
A well-run HOA takes care of common properties. It is their only legitimate function.
Move.
Leek added that she believes the Cooper Mountain case is not representative of most HOAs, which she believes can be very positive for a neighborhood if run well with community involvement.
“...HOAs, are mandatory neighborhood organizations...”
No they aren’t. They are hired organizations that can be fired upon contractual determination. If the people that hired them did not read the contract and make sure they were not setting themselves up, they just terminate the service. And if they didn’t read and understand their committment in the contract, they deserve what they get.

In two respects, HOAs are like timeshares: Enter into them with extreme caution and they’re certainly not for everyone.
Purchasing a home covered by HOA covenants can bite you on the ass hard...
I’m so glad the HOA I was living in was thrown out - disbanded - a dozen years ago. 120 homes but 6 hardcore activist families made life hell for people until there was a recall, then the new board hired a lawyer and put an end to the HOA - with 90% voting to get rid of it!
He lives there, so fix that. Break into his house and occupy it 40 illegal aliens, who beat him into a coma when he comes home. Then fine his for 300 a week times 20 for 10 families.
