Would you prefer drive-by citations for everything without having an opportunity to correct issues?

I'd prefer they mind their own fucking business about how someone keeps their property. Long grass isn't hurting anyone

When you sign the agreement that you allow the neighborhood to care about the length of your grass, you agree to make it their business. Don't live places that care about grass length if you don't want people to care about your grass.

If you've got the money to be buying guns to threaten people with, you've got the money to afford a uHaul.

It's the US, where the fuck would he even get a house without a HOA involved?

Plenty of places? New builds are likely to have HOAs but pre-2000s builds don't necessarily have them. Moreso if it's not in a subdivision or suburban hellscape.
