There are many countries in the world which don't measure their freedom in eagles per square burger yet are totally free to associate, and they do. I cannot do much in my neighborhood either (Switzerland here) but there is a respected process for raising cases and handling exceptions and all that. We call this the rule of law, by no means perfect either. This doesn't seem to be the case with the HOA where the system guarantees you living under the will of the leadership - be they idiots or geniuses. So if liberty is defined by randomness, yes, HOA defines the land of the free. Otherwise please allows us to scoff.
