I live in a planned community with a HOA. The developers were new to the game and used boilerplate regulations. As long as they had title to more than half the lots, they had a voting majority.
No vehicles visible from the street. Not even a car. So no RVs unless you parked them behind the house in your yard. They even required prior approval to add a screen door to the front door. How ugly can a screen door be? As soon as the actual residents had ownership of more than 50% of the lots, the residents took over all the positions on the HOA board at a special meeting. The developers not only left town, they left the state.
There are still regulations, but they're voted on by the people that actually live here, and they're livable and sensible.
