HOAs essentially have rules for everything and force you to have your house conform to whatever standards were established when your house was built.
In the US, many municipalities cannot “afford” to expand municipal services to new developments, so instead said developments will establish an HOA that handles basic municipal needs (ex: trash, water, electricity, paving) along with other niceties like landscaping. The idea is that you are paying as a group to fund things in the neighborhood (but you of course still pay property tax to the city/county/state).

And usually with an HOA all you’re funding is people who will fine you for letting your grass grow too tall.
Haha, America strikes again for basic failures
