In what aisle in Coscto would I find one of those? Asking for a friend.
In all fairness, my HOA isn’t that bad. They’re more annoying than totalitarian. HOA President Commander Toreth is actually pretty nice. Weirdly, all the people close to my age (mid 40’s) like her, and all of her Boomer peers seem terrified of her. I kinda want to know the story there. Like… is she former (or current emeritus) Tal-Shiar?
We have an HOA and it’s not really terrible either. Most of the money (only recently raised to $100 er year) goes towards the custom mailbox frames & street sign posts along with maintenance for the common grounds. Their bigger rules (guidelines) are 1. no above ground pools and 2. if you’re gonna build a shed make it a permanent structure; on a slab or at least gravel base, and try to make it match the house.
Thankfully it’s not an HOA where there is a dedicated color all houses have to be painted, and you need approval for landscaping.
Might I suggest a reasonable way to deal with Romulan HOA Boards:

That’s how ours is. Mostly just collects and manages funds for tree trimming, (communal) landscaping, and to pay the snow plows in the winter.
There’s a little micro-management (trash cans have to be out of view except during pickup days, etc) but nothing too draconian.
That said, if/when I ever move, I’m going out of my way to not live in an HOA.
