Such as every house looking the same and a garage for a front door?

As I said earlier, active community/neighborhood groups can do this.


none of the HOA's in my area require houses to look the same and have a garage in front. many houses have one in front for convenience and due to lot size. many houses have a similar look to them because the builders are often the same. but if you look to nicer neighborhoods, there is less similarity.

and with the active community thing, this is just pretty much wrong. your own neighborhood being the exception, this is pretty rare. if i painted my house lime green in your neighborhood, you could not stop me. and if you filed suit, not only would you spend your own money (lots of it), you would likely lose. if you go cut your neighbors lawn, there are plenty of neighborhoods in LA where you would get confronted with a gun for trespassing. if you want to file a complaint with city, you would be heard. in about 3 months

an ideal HOA (admittedly not all of them) are exactly what you want - an active community. the only difference is they have teeth. and you will never have to worry about mowing someone else's yard or going to court. i pay like $12/mo for that to be taken care of for me. imo it's worth it.

Are we that cynical these days where someone can't even help out a neighbor?

Baby Boomers and their "leave me alone in my suburban enclave" ruined America.
