    if your Association mandates lawns like the one pictured (not many do, if any), then why not get involved and ya know, change the rules?

    just seems weird to blame HOAs when every single homeowner has a right to speak up, talk to their neighbors, and demand that the by-laws be changed. HOAs aren’t dictatorships and have universal rules allowing any member to propose a vote on revisions.

      You don’t know how hoas work do you?

      1st off, every hoa has regulations on lawns. It’s the bare minimum of virtually any hoa. Not quite to the extent of the photo, but absolutely will fine for any weeds, or unapproved plants.

      2nd, most hoas have hurdles in vote counts to change a rule. The biggest being your Karens and Kens who are the ones who call you in because you have one dandelion in your yard. Others include only voting like once a year.

      3rd, if your hoa is fairly new, your community in most cases, has to be nearly complete before you can even vote out hoa members to try to change the board.

      Hoas are a nightmare and take monumental shifts and time to make changes.
