We love our freedom, but also love our property values and really don't seem to value the freedom of others as much as we should. Add the love of power tripping and some spots of actual corruption, and you get the American HOA. Its like the local PTA with fines. In a lot of ways, you can think of it as American who just want to be left alone taken advantage of by busy bodies with the rule of law on their side. When it breaks, it breaks badly.
