I’ve never lived anywhere with a HOA. If I did, I’d get on the board and do my part to make sure things were running well.

This. With any club or HOA the board members make decisions and there are complaints. In our PCA region many times a members says "we need to do this type of event" and we give them the same reply, you are now in charge of that. You do all the work and spent your time and effort to make it happen. Some just slink away, and others step up, and do the work and the club is better. It just takes the volunteer to step up and make it right.
Smae thing with our HOA. We all agreed we needed to "do something" to pretty up the association owned green area. The HOA can't afford to hire pros to do it. So some residents did it with the supplies funded by the HOA.
