It depends. Your heat pump may be undersized. Using a pool cover will keep the heat you make from being lost at night and cut the cost of operation in half. It is more efficient to run the heater only during the daytime. You may want to consider using "solar" as a supplemental heat source.
Yes, if your pool heater has been wrongly sized to your pool configurations you will end up spending more for your gas bill than someone with the exact same pool and use habits as yours but they have a much larger BTU heater. The larger heater will heat the water faster or in less time than a smaller heater would and would have better recovery as pertaining to water temps. Longer heater run times require more gas consumed. Expense, even for those who can afford it, is of concern for most. Depends on your priorities and budget.

Hold on now, the amount of heat required to keep a pool at a given temperature won't depend much on the size of the heater, but rather the total amount of energy used. The heater should be an appropriate size running for an appropriate length of time, but your total cost will mainly be determined by pool size, temperature desired and heat loss factors. If your Pool Heating bill is too high, cut the temperature a little and check the timing relative to when you actually use the pool.

A pool with a solar cover will absorb the heat faster during the day and when left on the pool over night it will prevent the loss of heat.

Are you able to put a real pool in your backyard without permission from HOA?
It will be less expensive for you in the long run to request permission to install the pool. Keep permissions granted with your ownership documents, so that there is no future question about the legality of the pool. Should you choose to install it without permission, be aware that one day, the board will notify you -- or your subesquent owner -- that your pool is illegal, require you to remove it, and fine you perhaps daily for every day you refuse to remove the unapproved pool.
Does an above ground pool still heat up when t it's a cloudy day?

Yes. Without the conditioner you will have to add chlorine once or up to 3 times per day in large quantities to maintain chlorine levels. You will eventually exceed the cost of the conditioner in a short time. And yes a pool is a money pit.
