They are a communist type organization that tell you what you can and can not do on your own property. It stands for Home Owners Association. I hate 'em all.

Example, you can not leave your car in your driveway, you can not fly a flag in your yard, you can not paint your house a certain color, any home improvements must be "pre-approved." They are meant to keep the riff-raff in line, but they often go overboard.

OK, i'm done.
