I leased a condo for a year while looking for property and building my current house.  The entire lawn was common area and cared for by a contractor.  During that year two of the ornamental shrubs in front of the condo died.  The HOA contacted me to replace the plants. I questioned the mandate and then contacted the owner (the builder).  Both HOA and builder insisted that I was responsible to meet all HOA rules... so I was ordered to replace the shrubs.

I replaced the shrubs with several small sweet potato plants and then dutifully groomed them over the summer.   Midway through the summer I received compliments on how beautiful the replacement plants were. I simply smiled, and in the fall I harvested my crop of sweet potatoes.  HOA president lived in my cul de sac and eyed me as I dug up the flower bed to retrieve my bounty.  By this time my house was completed and I moved out. 

The potatoes were delicious.  I dislike HOAs.

I think Larry's point is the HOA may have been elected to that position by homeowners (and guessing at it, I bet not by that particular guy at least) at some point, but that doesn't mean they still act in the best interest of the actual homeowners.. sorta like our government but on a smaller scale.

Larry, you are making it sound like the HOA and the homeowners are two different entities. The HOA is the homeowners, and the homeowners are the HOA. I'm cutting off your kool aid! ;-)
