Is it possible to have a hoa coup? I think that would be interesting.... Tiny revolutions within hoa's. So small no one cares. Eventually everything is clean, green and healthy before anyone notices. Kind of like when eBay changed its background slowly from yellowish to white.

My understanding is that many of them have charters which have elected board positions, though there are some which are privately owned communities in which that is not the case. Those board meetings and elections tend to face the same engagement and participation challenges as municipal meetings and elections among the age groups best positioned/inclined to make the changes.

Armchair quarterback opinion, since I don't have personal adult experience living in one, but I think it might be doable running with a "remove bs fees" position coupled with "remove petty board members" based on conversations with friends and internet strangers.
