Some HOAs are pure crap, like the one in your link, but you don't want neighbors neglecting their property.

We don't have an HOA and there's a guy at the end of the street that is letting his house visibly rot in places, the driveway has crumbled away, and his shrubs are a tangled mess. It looks like the Addam's family house. He does cut his grass though. Here's where the problem sits. 2 other houses are for sale at the end of the same street and the sales are being hindered by the lazy pig's house. Who the hell would want to live next door or across the street from that?

Another good HOA rule is not allowing a house to be put up for rent. There's to much trash that can only rent and they will bring down a neighborhood too.

Like the HOA for this.

Disagree with this, though.

Everyone has a different definition of yard neglect though. I'm not a yard guy. I keep it cut and looking halfway decent, but I'm not going to pay someone to keep it perfect, nor am I going to spend my entire weekend keeping it up. I think it looks fine, but when we had an a-hole on the HOA board I was getting letters about it all the time.

As long as the grass is cut, I don't care how my neighbor keeps his/her yard. I have enough shite to worry about in my own life that I have control over.
