Now if people are running through your yard because of it, I can see your gripe, but isn't it as easy as just not looking at it?
One of my neighbors has the worst paint color on their house imaginable according to my tastes, but what gives me the right to tell them what to do with it? I don't look up there, they shouldn't look down at my place. For those of you who are familiar with the HOA story I posted a while back about me and my HOA (that I never joined by the way) it's a small entity with a bunch of big wigs in the neighborhood who want to exercise power of the rest of it.
Just because they think something is in good or bad taste doesn't give them the right to enforce their opinion on YOUR property that you pay your hard-earned money for.

I hear you but when it comes time to sell your house and you the Beverly Hillbilleys living next door with all there crap everywhere, who do you think is going to buy your house?
Basically a decent HOA is a good thing, it helps hold the value of your neighborhood. Of course like everything else there is always the one percent of HOA's that suck and are annoying.
