| Yea I agree, it makes me as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. But any HOA has the power to amend the covenants, and change the rules. I hate crappy HOA's! My current HOA is trying hard, but the 3 previous HOA yearly members didn't do crap. =\, sorry if I sound bitter about it. Well anyways, they can kick them out if they amend the HOA.

Re: This can be taken care of... by voting? NOT!!!
During the period of developer control, the HOA is just a facade.
The developer often has more units/lots than the homeowners, so it has absolute control of the private homeowner association government it has created -- and its subjects -- because the developer can just cast its votes in favor of its own people.
The developer typically has three votes for each unit/lot it owns, while the homeowners each only get one vote per property (not per adult citizen). (HOAs are undemocratic. Ask any disenfranchised renter.)
'Your' elected government officials have created this situation, by passing laws that create the preceding, on behalf of developers. Many developers are major donors to political campaigns, and they have powerful organizations like the Urban Land Institute, that bribe and coerce 'our' elected government officials.
Do you think HOA problems are just limited to developers forcing their subjects to pay for certain ISPs? Consider this: if you don't pay your association fees, the HOA forecloses on your home to collect them -- in essence, forcing the sale of 'your' home because you failed to pay for (among other things) Internet service!

| RicoCorinth,
You reminded me something about foreclosure. I think that is a core issue of groups trying to fight the HOA's. The HOA can foreclose on a home WITHOUT THE ORDER OF A JUDGE. If I recall this against the law, but as I said their is a lobby group, not the Urban Land Institute. that helps keep this going.
Here are some links to get you started.
