Good on you, bud, I've done the same. I understand the Internet is always in an uproar over HoAs but it's cooperative self governance. In our community we collectively own the land. A good HoA is essential. I have a background in fiscal analysis and budgeting and I can provide my neighbors these skills for a healthier neighborhood.

I'm sure there's some dickhead on the Internet claiming we fined him unjustly for his broken window. He probably won't tell you that it was broken for five years, caused a pipe burst that flooded his widow neighbor's unit and forced her to discard her deceased husband's possessions. Then waited until the following year's frost without acting.

It's a total pain in the ass of a gig and at least 30% of your residents are unpleasable. But the alternative is a working class neighborhood gets run by that one person who's happy to fine for out of season decorations. If motherfuckers stepped up and acted like the board members they want to see, maybe they wouldn't constantly whine about what are, to the majority of them, purely hypothetical tyrants.

Yeah, I’m sure there’s HOAs run by tyrants, but done right, it’s a social thing where we pool our resources and keep our houses up.
