On the HOA note I lived in a couple. Both times a small club of elderly women with nothing to do during the day would walk the neighborhood multiple times per day and enforce every single rule for every neighbor that they didn't like, which was nearly everyone. Car 13" from the curb? Citation. Shrubbery not trimmed? Citation. Visiting relative's car parked in driveway more than 3 nights in a row? Citation. Guest parking on street overnight? Citation. Watering your lawn not enough, too much, or during the wrong hours? Citation, citation, citation. Some tomcat or stray dog in the neighborhood pooped in your flowerbed and you didn't even notice it and thus didn't remove it? Citation. Fence paint peeling? Citation. Repainted the fence the same color as before without getting written approval from the HOA architectural committee, which was never even established? Citation. Got the committee established and got written permission to paint the same color as before but painted your fence a slightly different color of grey from the neighbors' since theirs have faded over the years? Citation. Unapproved lawn buddha statue in the backyard where no one can see it? Citation. American flag in a flag holder on the post next to the front door? Citation. These types see themselves as defenders of law and order, protectors of good, and take pride in that not a single infraction on any day anywhere goes without a citation. They know all, and see all, and disapprove of all. And the HOA management association loves them because they bring in tens of thousands of additional revenue per month, and even enables them to confiscate a few houses now and then should the homeowner contest the charges and refuse. I would never ever ever ever live in an HOA controlled area again.
