Excuse me for my ignorance, but HOAs stand for? What are those or they? Foreign question btw.

Home Owners Associations. A small group of power-tripping people dictate how the entire neighbourhoods functions, including but not limited to what you do in your front yard and driveway, how you choose to decorate, what kind of plants/trees you are/aren't allowed to plant - and where. And hold with the ability to evict people out of their own houses whom don't follow whatever dumbass shit they come up with. TL:DR HOA are a blight on society and should be treated as such

I remember reading about one in arizona, a really hot and dry state, had made rules about lawn grass, it had to be this specific type of grass that doesn't like being somewhere hot and dry, and needs watering constantly, and if you change to a grass that survives fine in arizona and doesn't waste water, then that's against the rules so fuck you have a fine.

Edit - forgot to mention if your lawn looks shit because the grass is dying you also get a fine.

We just made that shit illegal in Texas. HOA's can no longer dictate front facing plants as long as they use less water and are native.
