I was unaware that these were the only 2 choices in neighborhoods.

When you live in a neighborhood with no HOA, no matter how nice you think it is, there is no recourse if that happens.

In 2018 we built a new home on the Northshore, new neighborhood 1.5 acre lots. MFer down the street filled their back yard with chickens, horses, pigs, and all sorts of unpermitted bullshite. The people behind our rent house in mandeville built a home made fence after the last hurricane complete with every single nail and screw coming out the runners, the pickets oddly spaced and crooked. They also built a chicken coop.

HOAs are designed to protect property values and provide amenities. You get Karen’s in every facet of the world. We had to go through and approval process for our fence, I’d much rather do that then everyone have a different style and type of fence in the neighborhood.
