A great article--thanks for the link. One comment about how people have not "meaningfully consented" to the hoa restrictions. In addition to the reasons stated in your ending quote, there's also the problem of CCRs being vague. People can't meaningfully consent to rules when it is impossible to tell what the rules mean.
And even if people research what the rules mean when they buy, a new board could come in and reinterpret those rules and suddenly that mailbox or swingset or house color or whatever that used to be ok is not ok anymore.
In our area recently there have been publicized hoa fights about bird feeders and pizza ovens. I defy anyone to show me CCRs with explicit rules on such things.
