HOA's suck. They shouldn't exist. If it's bad enough report it to the city.

Most of the homes here aren't rentals

I'd imagine they are working too much to afford the house and the truck.

I think people under estimate the time, effort, and money it takes to get your yard to look decent let alone what it

It takes all of 20 mins to mow a lawn.

That is definitely a poor person size yard.
