I don't want to deal with the BS.
As for keeping areas nice you don't need them. Just buy in nice established areas, they stay nice. You have to look at the demographics.

Like everything else, you have to look before you leap. Look at the covenants and see what it entails. If it is within reason, I wouldn't have a problem with it. The only part is if it gets out of hand. Any organization can get out of hand. There are literally thousands of HOAs out there that don't get publicity because they are normal. It is the weird ones that get all the attention that makes people think HOAs are all crazy.
Would you rather deal with the people who make a mess of their place when you are trying to sell?
Not always. Depending on situations things can become not so nice.
