My HOA sucks, They want to control the way you live in your own house
Exactly! I think I have them by the short hairs though, because they tried to operate outside of the covenants. The developer went belly up, so there are a bunch of unsold lots. In 2008, they amended the bylaws to prevent any "outsiders" coming in to change covenants and such by requiring something like 95% of owners. It should be interesting.
