I was on our condo board when my old apartment first went condo and we had a 7 page list of rules and regulations. The list was so long just to make sure we covered all the bases, but really the whole thing could have been boiled down to 1) Don't break the law and 2) Don't be an asshole.

HOAss main purpose is to try to maintain property value in a neighborhood. The truth is that what your neighbors' homes look like does have an effect on your property value. I totally agree with ruled against putting signs in your yard, parking your 30' camper on your lawn and so forth.

My mom and dad lived in a highly regulated condo community for 7 years. It was almost entirely senior citizens and they all had sticks up their asses about everything. My dad always made sure he was on the condo board to help maintain a sense of sanity and reason when it came to regulations
