That's what the bylaws and legal representation are for.

The real problem with HOAs is that sane people don't WANT to be on the board. If you let people who want to fuck with the neighborhood on the board, that is what they do. Everyone here who lives in an HOA, doesn't like it, and hasn't at least tried to sit on the board is a hypocrite IMO. It's not like it's a full time (or even a part time) job.
