This is the view out the northern window in my bathroom. My neighbor has been cleaning their yard for years, which has just involved them piling garbage in a trailer. The trailer has never been emptied, and At this point I doubt they could move it without the majority of the trash falling out.

Luckily the fence on that side of the yard is 6 feet, so I do not really see the trash under normal circumstances.

Good thing you don't live under an HOA. They are authoritarian pricks who go around telling people they can't pile up trash in their yards where it is visible to others.

    You don’t need to live in a HOA for that. I don’t think we even have those in my country, but the local council here would act if alerted to this.

    So, in your country, the government acts like an HOA.

    More like the HOAs want to act like a government. But we already have local governments. We don't need two of them.

    So the highest level of government should be policing this? You don't think there should be any form of local government?

    Its honestly a USA problem. We have HOAs in my country too but they don't suck.

    With all the outrage you see on american social media in regard to HOAs you'd think they would make some laws and guidelines to make it work better.

    I don't get it's its always wild to me to see HOAs being run by the shittiest of people in your country and apparently they can do whatever they want.

    I envy your naivitivity and competence in government. That's literally just how all leadership works here. I'm so fucking tired dawg.

    Yeah, they would say NIYBY to your garbage pile. And that could make their homes more desirable to buy and live in ("keep housing prices up"). Definitely don't want that.

    Unironically yes, new families affording homes is more important than a return on investment for people who are privileged enough to own them.

    Housing as an investment is fucked, and nobody but the individuals living their should own a home.
