Don't get me started on HOAs. Just today I ran into a situation where the HOA was demanding that a house be painted with $100 per day fines. That alone is ridiculous enough as finding any competent contractor is often a weeks long issue to get into their schedule. So the house got painted (the same color as it was before, which was a previously approved color), then the Board of Directors changed the color pallet, and now the house is one shade off and not the correct brand of paint so they are requiring it to be painted again. How there aren't more murdered HOA board members every year is a complete mystery to me.
