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."
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.
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 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 feeluseless sometimes, but then I remember that the Missouri Students Association exists.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
