I wouldn't consider a HOA house either, just for the record. So since I can create an HOA with my neighbors, can I move into a house that is connected to an HO

  HOAs are usually tiny little micro governments for a specific neighborhood, so you wouldn't even need to start a new one, you could simply get involved with the existing HOA and change it.

  > So since I can create an HOA with my neighbors, can I move into a house that is connected to an HOA and collude with my neighbors to start an competing HOA or it's locked up to the same one forever? Exiting an HOA typically requires either dissolving the HOA (by whatever rules allow for that in State law, typically a majority vote of members), following whatever deannexation procedures the HOA rules provide, or suing and winning a lawsuit against the HOA for failure to uphold its end of the deal and being given termination of the relationship as part of the remedy. Once you are out of the HOA, you can certainly form a new one. Actually, I think you can probably do it without leaving, but then the pbligations would be cumulative.

    You don't need to do any of that. If you have enough neighbors who want to collude with you, you just take over the existing HOA and amend the rules (and/or take a lax enforcement attitude). The most benign way to do it is to make one tiny change to the HOA rules, an explicit provision that failure to enforce a known "violation" for more than 30 days renders the rule unenforceable forever more.
