CMV: HOA and strata rules are stupid

I guess my view is really simple and the view I want to adopt is that HOA rules are not stupid. HOA rules just doesn't sit right with me. 

I understand that total freedom doesn't exist. When I buy a property, I am still subject to the laws of the property location. However, to me, it's still stupid that I buy a property and must pay a fee to someone else. Or that I have to listen to the collective neighbours. 

I know it's simple and I don't know where to start. And yeah, it's probably illogical, but all I feel is 'I don't like this and I want to get ride of HOA and strata rules'

If your neighbor parked old beat up cars on their lawn, painted their house purple and hung neon signs everywhere, etc etc etc... that would decrease the value of your house.

Just one benefit of HOA. Protects the value of your investment.
