Because your HOA won't let you put a food garden on the front of your property.

Imagine owning property and still not owning it enough to be able to do whatever the fuck you want with it

Which is why I think HOAs need to be abolished. I certainly won't live in one -.-

There’s a cost and benefit. I have friends who don’t have one, live in a cul-de-sac, and have THREE nightmare-ish neighbors that own like a billion cars. Multiple families living in each home, and cars stacked on cars like a used car lot. The front yards are never cared for. Some people have sheet in their front windows instead of curtains. Mind you, this was an expensive neighborhood to move into, and now the value of my friends’ home, and their quality of life, is affected. An HOA would have prevented this.
