There are lots of benefits to HOA's, which is why some people chose to live in them. The association might take care of your yard or provide a pool and clubhouse or at the very least make sure that your neighbor doesn't decide to mow his lawn at 5:30 in the morning. HOA's on their own are neither a good or bad thing, but the people in charge of them pretty much make the rules.
My advice is if you don't like the direction your HOA is going, get elected to the board. Chances are you aren't the only one of your neighbors that doesn't like the direction either. It either that or move.
