And this is why I live in an HOA community. You’d NEVER see this. Yep cry all you want about an HOA but it does keep the riff raft out.
I own a house in a New Jersey Township and a house in Pennsylvania HOA, the New Jersey Township is 100x stricter and has over 5,000 pages in the code/law book on land use.
The HOA has only 100 pages, they do enforce it, but I never heard of anyone going to jail because their grass was 1/4 inch too high.
