Juulie - HOA stands for Home Owners Association. What you don't want is to have Crack HOA's in your neighborhood.

Or - maybe you do.
The HOA is the association that charges you a monthly fee to tell you that anything you propose to do to your property cannot be done. I live in a gated "active adult community" (one spouse has to be 55 or older), and we call our HOA the "Power Mongers". It is sometimes truly amazing what a little bit of power will do to some people. While the HOA does do some good things, they seem to have their head up their *** a lot of the time.

HOA board members think they are the Mayor of the subdivision. They like to stick their nose where it doesn't belong. I guess they do some good things to like send people notices to move their broke down cars. They make sure somebody doesn't paint their house a funky color and most importantly, they get to review the bids and decide who gets to landscape the common ground areas. These folks have some serious power.
