It's easy to say this if you've never been on one, where you see how unbelievably petty and stupid people can be about sliding their own exceptions by, or just trying to get away with not obeying the rules until someone demands they do, or you have to mediate a real dispute between neighbours that's sort-of-but-not-really covered by the rules.
Nothing has corroded my belief that humanity is capable of governing itself in a sane, common sense manner, as much as serving on Strata (Canadian version of an HOA for a condo building) for several years.

People cannot govern without injecting extreme bias. With regard to something like home ownership, I'd like my home to be subject to only my own biases. Power corrupts absolutely, even at the smallest scale.
