    This is a massive reason I completely avoid HOAs. I don’t want some busybodies deciding what I can and can’t do with my property, and I’m okay with my neighborhood being less uniform as a result.

      Some areas can be a lot worse than “less uniform”.

          That’s also not what I’m referring to. I work in real estate so I’ve seen it all:

          • grass four feet tall
          • a dozen vehicles parked all over the lawn
          • fences fallen down and left on the ground
          • the entire property being used as a landfill/scrapyard
          • rodent infestations

              Depends what’s in the landfill. Anything that rots is definitely the business of the rest of the neighborhood. But if it doesn’t smell, make noise, or gets blown ower property lines, then yes, it’s none but the owner’s business.

              The rodent infestation is a result of the other factors and general lack of cleanliness. Sure seems like my business.
