"Hoa Cut Down Our Tree"

"We moved into a brand new neighborhood in January and all summer we were asking our HOA for our pool key and in response they had our tree cut down because it “looked dead”. The person sent to cut it confirmed that it did not look dead but did their job anyway."
Not all are bad. Our hoa fees cover maintenance of the common areas and neighborhood pool. They pretty much leave us alone. I see things every day that are in violation of our bylaws and no one cares. I’m guilty of a few myself.
The only letter I ever got was when I left my boat on the street for 2 weeks.
I take enough order from boss, wife , government officials definitely do not need some one telling how to live and maintain my house
Seriously: Why do people live in HOA communities where people get harrassed on a legal basis? It seems quite bizarre to me.
