When you sign the agreement that you allow the neighborhood to care about the length of your grass, you agree to make it their business. Don't live places that care about grass length if you don't want people to care about your grass.

If you've got the money to be buying guns to threaten people with, you've got the money to afford a uHaul.

Plenty of places? New builds are likely to have HOAs but pre-2000s builds don't necessarily have them. Moreso if it's not in a subdivision or suburban hellscape.
