I would NEVER voluntarily live where there was a HOA. The real
problems can't be addressed by a HOA so all they can do is get
hysterical over 'property values' being sent down the tubes by stuff
like hanging your laundry out to dry, having a vegetable garden, or
parking your pick-up truck in front of your house overnight.
Trash and junk cars can usually be dealt with by county ordinances,
and IMHO most of the other stuff is transitory. The real stuff that
affects property values are things the government does like highways
and trans****tation infrastructure - not whether you have a flagpole, a
basketball net or a pink flamingo in your yard.
