I assume from your answer that you know where you were off topic - and the factual mistake is that in most jurisdictions the cops will enforce the same kinds of things HOA’s will. There’s only a tiny over lap there. Tiny.
Which brings up another question: do you prefer being harassed by government cops, who you cannot choose not to do business with, or by an HOA that does not force you to live in their neighborhood???????
The conservative answer would be B.
Talk about being off topic.
