I go back and forth on this. I've been in my current HOA for 10 years with no complaints or headaches from them. The condo I had in VA was run by HOA-Nazis, people who had never had power before and suddenly got it and wanted to exercise it. But I also work in the hood and see how awful so many properties look due to there being no HOA. Everyone's a Libertarian or HOA-hater until your neighbor stops cutting his grass, parks his cars in the front yard and leaves transmissions and engines around the yard. I see it every single day in my job.
