You don't have to live where there's a HOA to object to the idea that other people not in any official township/county/state government capacity get to micro-manage peoples' lives other than their own. I get that there's 'reasonable' and there's 'unreasonable', or that there's 'temporary' and there's 'permanent'. But more than a few HOAs appear to be incapable of making the same distinctions.

Some years ago, a man I worked with was getting ready to downsize into an over-55 community. They made him sell his upscale pickup truck (not some dilapidated Sanford and Son POS) because residents there were forbidden to park trucks within the community.
