    This right here.

    Figure out how to get elected. Get elected under the 'if you don’t like the way the HOA is run, vote for me, my friend, and their friend!’ platform, and then change the fucking rulebook to your liking.

      Exactly. Busybody assholes always end up in charge of HOAs because they’re the only ones who bother to vote and go to meetings. HOA starts as a quiet little thing that just prevents the most egregious stuff, and ends up as intrusive because of it. Unless the majority of your neighborhood is that kind of people, or is buddy buddy with the people who take over, it’s real easy to take power back a lot of the time.
