Why do people agree to homeowner associations?

I've just heard of too many on power trips and come up with crazy stupid ideas like this to trust them.

They must keep their garage doors up from 8 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday or get a $200 fine.

In theory, they're a good idea. A small feel quarterly/biannually/whatever and your lawn gets taken care of the the roads and sidewalks are maintained? Sounds wonderful. Then some Karen gets in power and boom, suddenly that shade of white isn't correct, your flag pole is .025 inches too short, your car isn't new enough to park on the street, etc.

@thenormalkindofcrazy And it always ends up being some Karen in power. Always.
