I would _never_ EVER purchase a property with a home owners ass-ociation!

Might as well own a condo. :-(

Me either, but regardles of a HOA, there are still deed restrictions
which are basically written by the developer, or are the standard
restrictions which fall within the legal protections.

For example:

If you live in a sub-division, HOA or not, you cannot let your weeds
get higher than six inches, or however tall the law says in your city.
You cannot let a dog or cat roam everywhere it wants to go. There are
indeed fines associated with that due to the laws of your city.
