I'd like to see some data to support your claims. Are you actually suggesting that HOAs hurt value because they decrease demand? I certainly hope not because this is the first I've heard of people refusing to live there because of it. People bitch, but I can't say I've heard of people refusing to live there. They're just a fact of life in the communities of this area.
Either way, I didn't say I liked them because my house was going to be worth more, I said I liked them because I don't want to live in a shithole neighborhood. Warm and fuzzy is what I want, my last neighborhood pissed me off and is one of the primary reasons we moved.
Oh and the people it keeps out... we don't want anyway.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
