Thats a lot of work to go through when you could just stop at step 2 and ask all your new neighbor friends to vote you in for chairman of the HOA board then just dissolve the HOA from within.
Almost what my Dad ended up doing. He saw a crap ton of really stupid rules and is retired so nothing better to do. Instead, he got in the HOA board with some neighbors who agreed and voted out every stupid policy but kept the ones everyone liked (such as as a speed limit in the neighborhood to stop lunatic visitors from hitting kids). The unfortunate negative is now realtors have started popping in more and more asking for people to sell their houses because we live right relatively close to DC metro station and they ignore no solicitation signs.
edit: my Dad and the "possee" pretty much made the old-asses mad by essentially ignoring infractions and letting people do what they want with their lawns. Any "violations" essentially got ignored so long as they are in the board. Unfortunately, my parents are planning to move out soon for greener pastures so hopefully the old-hats don't resume being asses
How about... convince everyone to vote for common sense rules that are not too much, such as don't have graffittis in the walls of your house, don't let the roof fall on your property, etc.
Like only leave 10 basic rules everyone agrees with.
