nobody is going to do a thing about them besides complain. it's one of the few areas where you can see peoples' "ideology" stopped dead in their tracks. and sad too, since you'd think it'd be easy to just persuade your neighbors to change said rules and regulations, but alas.

as someone who actually wants HOAs in my neighborhood simply because it's a gentrifying area whose value has skyrocketed in recent years, it'd be nice to see some rules and have them enforced.

perhaps it's more than "white people" and more along the lines of people interested in value and the factors that go into that.
