      Because they control everything!

      The height of your lawn, the color of your siding, how many cars in your driveway, if you can have a fence, how high the fence is, what plants are grown out front, what color of the fence…. I can go on and on and on. You have limited control of your own property, and you pay dues. This is non-tolerable after some days.

      HOA surroundings can make your life like a jail. The HOA would not allow you for the following:

      • No working on or washing of vehicles in public view.
      • No street parking after 8 pm.
      • No outside music after 8 pm.
      • No unaccompanied children under the age of 16 outside after 8 pm.
      • No groups of more than 6 people may be outside on a deck or patio or the property at any time.
      • No consuming of alcoholic beverages outside on a deck or patio or the property at any time.
      • No smoking outside on a deck or patio or the property at any time.
      • No cooking, smoking of food, or BBQing food that may produce smoke or an offensive odor to other people on a deck or patio or the property at any time.
      • No immodest or two-piece bathing suits are allowed in the pool area or on your property.

      I guess this could easily get you the answer to your question.
