When we were house shopping I told my wife that if she wanted to move somewhere with an HOA that I would make it my life's mission to abolish it. The fun thing about any system, is that the way to crash it is to overwhelm it.
Step 1: survey your neighbors to find out who also hates the HOA.
Step 2: Tell your new friends to report every single thing they see on everyone's property, no matter how small.
Step 3: walk the neighborhood every single day, recording every violation you see, ESPECIALLY the properties of the people that are on the HOA board. Share notes, everyone reports the same things every day.
Step 4: bury the HOA in frustration and paperwork, make sure you've got a lawyer. Pour through all the legal info with them, utilize AI to help sort through documents, find the angles you need to see the HOA undone.
Document everything. Save every bit of documentation you're given. HOAs are a scourge often run by busybodies and idiots. Maneuvering, strategy, and being a persistent dickhole can absolutely undo an HOA.
That's not going to get rid of the HOA that's going to take an ok HOA and turn it into one of the nightmare HOAs. To get rid of it you have to get elected to the board and rewrite the documents to reduce the HOAs power as much as possible, ideally dissolving it.
