I personally don't like it, but I respect their right to do whatever the fuck they want with their property. If they want a fugly house, then that's their right.
Honestly, no. At least where I live, they're finally starting to do something against gravel gardens. They are illegal here (have been for decades but no-one did anything against it) and they're absolutely terrible for the environment and destroying green space (additionally to them being very bad for bees and further sealing the floor which is awful when any flood happens). Luckily people shouldn't be able to do absolutely everything they want if it hurts everyone so much.
Gravel gardens seal the ground? I thought it was just gravel on top of dirt.
I would prefer housing authorities don't require manicured grass lawns. They are so expensive to keep up and repair, especially since many don't use native grass species so they need watering in the summer if you don't want them to go brown.
How do you feel about HOAs?
I'm not living in the US. As far as I know, it's something very ridiculous that every house needs to look absolutely the same (I feel the freedom). And no, what I wrote isn't "the same", mandating how every garden needs to look exactly the same is something entirely different to fighting against very specific "garden" styles that combat the environment and are bad for the infrastructure (see floods). I'm fine with people having their garden however they want and doing stuff, but it needs to be in certain boundaries, e.g. that you aren't allowed to seal all ground which is terrible for bees, the environment in its wholeness and dangerous during floods.
If there are some rare edge cases where many things depend on it and there are very good reasons to set a certain boundary but otherwise leave the freedom to do the own garden and house how they want, that's something different to just mandating that there is no possibility to choose anything about it's looks and destroy all creativity and uniqueness.
Got it. HOAs get bad press for requiring every house to look the same, but the basic function they serve also includes preventing stuff like the above. How far they go depends on the HOA, but one that just prevents egregious stuff like the above isn't fundamentally different from one that requires near uniformity.
I just ask because lots of people hate HOAs, but this is one big reason they exist.
they exist to preserve property values
