HOA's are part of how supremacists of the day, after losing a tool ("state-backed discrimination, segregation, and oppression of ppl of the global majority") figured out how to hide the oppression elsewhere.

The concept in american jurisprudence of 'the government is less likely to interfere with contracts between private parties' meant refusing to sell a home to a person of the global majority, while being illegal in some ways, is no longer illegal if it's backed by this fictional entity called "a home owner's association".

The belief in political authority, and indeed any sort of authority, is sometimes hard to view as anything but a dangerous superstition.

So you're saying some people enjoy a power trip.
Especially older people who didn’t have a fulfilling career. HOAs satisfy their desire for power and control. It’s really dumb we allow this quasi-government with no due process (I couldn’t mow because I was ill, for example) to exist.
I have no idea what you are saying.
