then don't join the HOA? they are opt in and nobody can force you.

i remember a story on reddit a long time ago about some bitch that tried to remove someone's trees despite him not being a member of the HOA, ended up suing her, she lost her house.

depend, if there is already an establish mandatory HoA (which most HoA are), you are oblige to join as a condition of buying the house. your only option to "opt out" is not buying the house.
