The only bad HOA we had was with our starter house. They had crazy stupid rules and busy bodies walking around making sure your grass wasn’t a cm too long and god forbid your dog have a doghouse. After that, no issues. Our very high end current neighborhood is super chill. We need an HOA as we are responsible for road upkeep, snow removal, etc. I am the treasurer right now and my biggest issue is reminding the snowbirds to send their checks from Florida. They don’t mind, they just forget.
