Are you allowed to paint your house what you want or are you restricted to something like ten shades of beige? From what I’ve seen, Non-hoa areas tend to have more variety in landscaping and color and are more pleasant to look at while hoa areas are drab and have a monoculture office park landscaping that some how makes plants feel lifeless and can’t be environmentally friendly. They do prevent trashed houses and a number of other ills, but they do it by forcing everyone to be equally mediocre. They are like the porridge of architecture and landscaping. And a lot of them claim to be about maximizing home values which is definitely not true. They are about preventing a house from lowering the values of the neighborhood, but that usually means preventing nicely done houses raising the value of the neighborhood.
