    Our HOA has different rules for different people in the Association. Example, all garage doors have to be beige. Mine is the same color as 5 other doors--however I am being shut out of Association pool and recreation because they said mine is wrong shade- other people have not ;been questioned. They are also taking money improperly from fees and then making little titles or Association jobs for other homeowners so they don't pay. When they don't pay- our fees go up! They vote to raise fees because they don't pay. I was told not to come to meetings because my vote didn't count. True- they split with other sections of our subdivision and now have their own majority.

    My Redmond, WA. HOA president uses our collected "dues" to hire and pay for a gardener to keep up his personal home garden at our cost. His wife is the HOA Treasurer - she handles all our association money making it easy for her to conceal where our money is being spent, and on just what.

    HOA's should be illegal so that people who buy a home can live in peace without being harassed by criminals who find themselves in power over homeowners in a community.

    Bought my first home and have been tortured by my HOA since I moved in because "my house is bringing down property values". I had it built brand new. My dream home is now a nightmare that I can't even unload because no one wants to buy in an HOA community, and this HOA is so nasty they have a reputation and no one wants to buy in here.

    My dad and me like to shoot our guns on our own 2 plus acres, 5 miles from city limits. Our HOA, calls the police because they have a restriction on discharging weapons in the community. The Poluce say no problem and requested we build a shootin berm. However, they still harass us by calling the police. The county Sheriff's dept. even told these individuals that it's perfectly legal. WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS, Please help us disband these anti constitutionalists

    Dissolving HOAs would be a great boon to the housing market and americans as a whole. They are a fascist machine that gives a very small number of people a great amount of power over the majority. The fact that they can make up impossible tasks, then place a lean on your home if they feel so inclined should be illegal. Just because you don't like someone or disagree with them does not mean that you should be able to ruin their life and kick them out of their home for unjust reasons. I live in a development with an HOA (first home) We are selling because of the HOA, my second house will not be in an HOA run community and for the rest of my life when buying a home, It will be my first question. If the answer is "yes, this community has an HOA." I will noit even consider buying in that neighborhood.

    Dissolving HOAs would be one of the greatest boosts to the moral and, in some cases, feasibility of home ownership in the United States. How we ever got to a point where we pay someone else for the privilege to dictate what we can do with our own property is beyond my comprehension.

    HOA's operate in a manner that is inconsistent with the values and freedoms for which all deceased United States military service members who have voluntarily given their lives. They devalue neighborhoods by destroying liberty. Too many people have been unjustly harmed, fined and jailed by the coercive pseudo-legistlation created by them. There is no room in the United States for tyranny.

    HOA's are not doing the job they were created to do. Some homeowners blatantly violate the CC&R's and get away with it while others are targeted for a minor infraction. It all depends of how cozy your are with board members. They only seem to create suspicion and mistrust among neighbors when an issue is "brought to their attention"... HOA's should be illegal.

    In my opinion the HOA falls into the category of Extortion! You don't have choices involving your own property, and you're forced to accept selectively enforced rules.

    HOAs must allow some choice for homeowners. We cannot leave an HOA that goes off the rails with price hikes or rules. There is no choice. They arrange meetings so you can't attend because it's during work hours. They obfuscate how they spend the dues. There is no legal path to leave an HOA and that's wrong. When an hoa fails the homeowners, they should be allowed to pay an opt-out fee equal to some multiple of their dues. That would be fair. This is currently just extortion.

    I am 60 years old. I have lived in HBTS Florida for over 23 yrs. Our HOA is silly. Even now with renters, abandoned properties and squatters, the HOA still manages to make life miserable for some of us. A man's home is his castle, at least I was taught this growing up. But HOA people get power hungry and pretend with self importance. If we cannot limit their power, we can remove them. "All power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely," which is never seen more clearly than in our big one at HOLLEY BY THE SEA in northwest Florida.

    The HOA is abusive and is unconstitutional because it deprives the human rights of the American people. The HOA is incompetent and has all the power. Pennsylvania contract law, injury law, and unconscionable law do not apply to HOA. There are no limits to the amounts of fines the HOA can impose. A lot of people are part of the HOA and are suffering. Make America great again.

    HoA needs to go. The idea is poorly executed and is an embarrassment to the word "Freedom". If we wanted to be controlled and told what to do in our own castles we should have just let the Nazis win the war.

    I was unable to avoid HOAs and am about to close on a house in one. I just learned that in my new free-standing home with a fenced-in backyard (not a condo), I am limited to 2 dogs. I have two schnauzers of my own, but I am moving my father in with me from another state. He is retired and has one dog. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that three dogs was going to be something I could have legal trouble over in a home I freely bought and paid for. Based on the newsletters (or bi-monthly lecture and threats on community rules), they are also obsessive about not being able to see your city-issued garbage can, including on trash pick-up day. And if you violate their rules enough, they put a lien on your house. So, you can be in complete compliance with city, county, state, and federal laws, but you can lose your home or incur fines if heaven forbid, someone sees your garbage can on the driveway in front of your house? And you get to pay for the privilege of employing people to carry this out? How is this okay?

    I'm looking for my first home and it is impossible to find anything not in an HOA. The monthly fees are ridiculous! I may have to keep renting and not be able to buy anything because the monthly HOA fee is larger than my mortgage will be! These things need to go away!

    Why must I pay others so they can decide what I can and can not do with MY PROPERTY ? The power goes to their heads and they pick and chose on who must obey THEIR beliefs. People spend their life savings into buying a home not for others to tell them how to live within it. This has got to stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Many innocent people have lost their home because of the evils of HOA. When you buy property and pay for it you should be able to enjoy your home. Here we are surrounded by Indian Hindu HOA my family is the only Indian christian family and we have already had enough of their behavior, taking their idols and screaming chants that their idol is the greatest. The HOA makes us pay for their idol worship. Can't even plant trees in my own backyard. HOA is Harassment of Americans and should be abolished.
