Your committee can put a candidate up for the HOA Board of Directors and you can impact change this way.The recent court case against the Hideout implies that fees must be the same for all properties, the implication that a homeowner letting guests stay in their home would also be subject to guest fees. 

The August 2024 report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® shows housing prices in Austin and the greater metro have been fairly stable over the past 12 months.

Planning performs a thorough review to make this determination including searching publicly and also checking to see if anything was reported to the SF Rent Board or a DBI complaint.
