I used to just think HOAs were fake and gay, and in a way they might still be because of all the seemingly useless hoops you have to jump through and fees you have to pay, but it might be just enough trouble to keep the trouble out of the town. How do the people of Poal feel about HOAs. Is it worth the trouble and expense, does it keep the riff raff out and make for a nice safe space to raise your kids?
