As I understand it, in many cases HOAs existing are a condition of housing getting built at all. They’re (in some cases) the way in which builders prove their planned development will not be a drain on town resources, because they’ll provide for their own water and trash and road maintenance needs.
I do wonder when, where, how, and why they morph into the kind of super-restrictive and intrusive HOAs that I would never want to live under, though, versus the ones that don’t do this.
