Little Boxes
Some people like HOAs because they help create a uniform, monotonous look for a community. It’s not for everyone, but some people love it. The community this OP lives in has a really strange rule about cars in the neighborhood. You’re not allowed to park your car in your own driveway.
Instead, you have to park your car in the garage. Never mind that you own the driveway, or that you might need the extra space in the garage. We can’t have visitors seeing those hideous metal contraptions parked OUTSIDE! In addition, no one is allowed to have a satellite dish on their roof. That would look way too tacky, obviously.
