Until somebody steals your dog out of your front yard...
I don't like anybody having the right to tell me what I can and cannot do on my
own property.
Thats what I really like about our place in Maine, when we built the garage dad
and I went to pull a building permit, the clerk laughed us out "For a garage on
a farm? Just build it!" So we did...
To counter Dan's point, homes outside of HOAs tend to be less expensive. ;)

I agree it can get really asinine, but if you want the freedom from
interference by officious neighbors then you must accept the chance that a
real j**k could move in next door and park his junk (non Mercedes) cars in
the front yard for you and any future property buyers to see.
Our subdivision doesn't have a HOA but there is an overall covenant
prohibiting any fences in front yards. I see nothing wrong with that.
