And what gives the HOA authority? What happens if I say "Screw you HOA, I am going to ignore you".

The answer is that the GOVERNMENT enforces its will.

And leaves itself open to huge injustices.

Like the fact that the HOA can lien your house for as little as $100 in dues.

And can then sell your house out from under you.

If you're _really_ unlucky, they'll sell it to a landlord who sits on the board of the HOA, and the board of the HOA will accept the sale for less than half of the market price, with the landlord buying the house being one of the deciding votes...
