Homeowners Association 

An omnipresent force in suburbia, or at least in most of it's residential neighborhoods.

A quasi-fascist governing board, often set up by a subdivision's real-estate developer, who strictly enforce such rules and building codes as...

-Grass must be kept watered, golf course green and closely manicured, even during times of drought and water shortages

-No one uses their yard to grow their own food

-No patch of land may be permitted to return to it's natural state

-No rooms or other additions may be permitted above or in front of the existing home

-No potter's shed or tool shed may be allowed anywhere on the property

-No yard ornaments

-No rain barrels

and so on.
The homeowners association says you can't put an addition onto the front of the house. They also said you couldn't add a 2nd level (which would keep any additional property from being paved over.) They said that the only place you could add on was the back (which paradoxically is the only yard anyone ever actually uses.)

To get another idea of what a homeowner's association is like, watch the 1999 episode of the X-Files by the name of "Arcadia."

Trilby Community Association 

A non-profit organization started in one of Florida's poorest communities back in late 2001 by an activist for change. Denny Sharkey Mihalinec. TCA as it was originally called, started out with a few residents from 2001-2003. Some faded out and Denny Sharkey Mihalinec went out door to door asking residents to get involved to make a difference. The goal was to bring industry, better housing opportunities, food resources, youth activities, the first ever crime watch program that turned into a full time security patrol, educational help for the low income, the need for infrastructure and so much more.

homeowner's association 

A small group of real estate agents, builders and developers who control and repress the residents of a suburban neighborhood. The aim of the association is to maintain the profitability of the real estate business by keeping the neighborhood in a state of Disney-like visual perfection - regardless of the impact on residential life. This is accomplished by enforcing rules for landscaping, lawn and building exterior maintenance, and by outlawing simple functional items and amenities such as basketball nets, garbage cans, satellite dishes, solar panels, flower pots, compost piles, window blinds, bike trails, mailbox numbers, etc.
The homeowner's association fined me $50 because I own a garbage can.

Our homeowner's association says we can't have a bike trail, because some buyers might believe that bike trails attract crime and drug dealers.

Missouri Students Association 

The undergraduate student government of the University of Missouri, aka Mizzou. Members of MSA are often very arrogant and self-important, but in reality they get nothing done. The most MSA is known for around campus is its annual presidential election, held in March, which become dramatic and entertaining because of either a technological error or prior racist tweets from the candidates.
I feel useless sometimes, but then I remember that the Missouri Students Association exists.
