...I know their "intended purpose", but IME it rarely works that way. They tend to rapidly degenerate into "neighborhood Nazis" with political agendas, and the biggest assholes in the neighborhood are sitting on the board.
Fortunately, in my current situation, I don't have to belong to the one that controls the neighborhood/developments around me. I am on the historic registry and only have to report to the Historical Society of Lake County--and they like me for my restoration work of the old farm homestead, and my use of the property for public service. I have ~16 acres, my next-door neighbor has ~5 acres (his home was originally built on part of the farm). Behind me is an abandoned/decommissioned RR line and highway, and the other side is a 500+ acre country club/resort--that also once belonged to this farm. The entire "compound" is surrounded by 8' iron fencing that looks like the border wall, so I have my "privacy".
There are a few on the local HOA that kind of resent me for some of the events that I hold here for at-risk (generally inner-city) youth, but they sure as f**k don't bitch when I use my front-end loader to clear their driveways and sidewalks when their contractor doesn't show-up on time.
