here's the scariest part... while a city can just garnish your wages for back taxes, an HOA or similar has the power to foreclose on your property.

okay maybe not the scariest part, because think of the fact that the people in Kauai didn't know what they were doing, or not "professionals" think of how those choices and decisions are made by HOA board of directors who also, don't really know what they are doing and are relying on studies, expert opinions, newspaper clippings, and other non-professional methods to understand all the workings of what it takes to be/run a community land effort.

I know this, because I'm on the board of directors of my coop and the things that people don't know vs. the things that they do and how they get elected is just mind boggling.
