go outside. look west. those big things.. they are called mountains. move there. i'm generalizing , but, mountain folk love guns and hate HOA's. avoid boulder county mountains tho.
seriously, its not too hard to find a place to live without an HOA.. but.. it may not be a place you WANT to live. generally speaking, HOA's exist to protect the property values for the homeowners. everyone wants to BE the guy with the broken down crap in his yard, half hidden under 2 foot grass... but no one wants to live NEXT to that guy...
one nice thing about where I live, were not ALLOWED to mow the grass, to preserve the 'rural mountain environment'.. and since im the guy with a bunch of crap in the yard, well.. im happy.
