^^This is the main problem. HOA's are good for that one guy in the neighborhood that has 5 broken cars, trashed boats, 4-wheelers laying around and doesn't mow his grass.

You will always have that person though that will nitpick everything to death, measuring grass, shingle color on a shed, 1 trailer parked where it is slightly visible, etc.

It seems like it would be simple enough, but you can't prevent the first guy, without having the second guy.

The solution is move far enough out in the country where you don't have neighbors or an HOA. That is what I did!
