HOA started because the federal government mandated that developers build watershed areas when building a housing development. Someone had to own that land after it was over. So developers created a corporation that would own it and been by the homeowners. Because no on would buy the lot with the watershed on it
It's still the same. Developers set these up.
Nearly every housing development built since the watershed requirements have an HOA. It's almost impossible to get a newer house without one.
All those things still apply.
Can they not donate the watershed area/retaining pond to the city as a park? Throw up a play structure and call it a day.
