I've seen the nightmares it causes people who don't fit the mold the HOA demands, like a plumber who can't park his pickup in his own driveway overnight because it had his company name painted on the door. Or the people who couldn't put up a clothes pole in the backyard and were forced to use their dryer in the summer, etc, etc.

I'm also firmly in the anti-HOA camp. Maybe I've just been lucky with my neighbors.

Yep. My buddy could park his work truck along the curb but never in the driveway... weirdos. I get the intent but for a bunch of government hating rugged individualists we certainly like our petite dictators.

A town just across the state line has a city ordnance against backing into your own driveway.
