  I don't want to live where my exterior paint has to have color one tick 
more (or less) magenta (or cyan or yellow), or where my front door has 
wrong finish paint (too glossy or not glossy enough), or where I am not 
allowed to operate "industrial equipment" (down to welding torch or 
MAPP torch or propane torch or soldering iron), or lose points politically 
within the HOA if my home is not kept to standards typical of "Better 
Homes and Gardens".
  I don't want to live where I can't come home from a date and kiss my 
date in the driveway or on the walkway - whether or not it was a "first 
date" or if I weanted to have a "date night" with a spouse, or someone who 
would be my spouse if marriage laws my way were like those nationwide in 
Canada, Spain and South Africa along with the "current status" of marriage 
law in the USA "state" of Massechussets!

  It appears to me that landlords are better than HOAs at respecting need 
for one's home to be his/her castle!  Better still, be a homeowner where 
there is no HOA!  (Hellacious Orifice-anal Association)
  I would live in a cardboard box structure in whatever region under an 
interstate bridge over a major river in/bordering a major city that has 
neighbors living in such things before I live where a sub-municipal level 
of government tells me that I painted my front door with the wrong kind of 
white paint, or that I can't kiss someone that I was in love with or hoped 
to have fall in love with me on my driveway or my front walkway!
