Because in many areas these are almost the only homes available in certain price ranges and sizes. If you want new construction and are not independently wealthy, you would be extremely challenged to find a house not under a HoA. It's eye opening when looking in some areas how hundreds of square miles of developments are 100% HoA controlled. I would never buy such a place, but I do understand why some folks would feel forced into such a transaction.

People like HOAs. The HOAs can vote to disband, but people don't care enough to do so. Many people feel they protect property value, and they are probably right.
