Sure, but if I moved to Utah or Nevada, I’d look for a few acres out in the desert where I could do whatever the hell I wanted. Weld and build stuff at midnight, test motorcycle engines at 3 am, raise chickens, put up solar panels, hang laundry in the yard, etc. Isn’t that the charm of living in a sparsely-populated state?
Also, HOAs make sense in structures where units share walls. They’re overkill in single-home communities. Why would I need someone to tell me what color my door should be painted or what age my car is allowed to be? I can decide that myself.
