    My HOA manages communal property (trails, playgrounds, the pool and tennis/basketball courts) and does grounds keeping. They have some rules I find annoying but most of their rules are sensible (like don’t build a fire pit below your deck and don’t block your neighbors driveway with your cars). Ultimately, my HOA is just not that big of a deal. You don’t hear about HOAs like that because they are not interesting enough to post about online.

      Everywhere I’ve ever lived, both of those are actual laws. This is like saying the HOA has rules against burglary.

      But maintenance of communal property makes sense, and I’d join an HOA that had in its bylaws that it will never do anything other than that.
