Yup. The other option is to infiltrate the board.

OK, I understand you are joking about it.
The HOA has no recourse, except to get the fees upon the selling of the property. One of my other friends was a real estate agent. He talked about a case where a home owner refused to pay the HOA for many years. Upon his eventual death, and then the kids selling the house, the HOA had a large (10s of thousands) lien on the property. All the former owner succeed in doing is reduce the inheritance of his kids by a lot. It is a legal contract.
In our neighborhood we have a HOA. It does not permit multi family residence. One of the owners rented her house to 4 single men. Each had a vehicle, and each parked on the street each night. That is another no-no. Long term, only parking in the driveway or in the garage is allowed. The HOA contacted the owner, and at first she was ready for a fight. Her own lawyer told her she would lose. She sold the house and a nice couple moved in, and the parking in the street issue is gone. The neighborhood looks nice and no cars parked in the street.
