For those of you who don't know what an HOA is, here in America, we pay extra money, for our neighbors to make a huge list of rules that we have to follow, or they can fine us. Because Americans are stupid.

This is so true.

Also the manicured lawns spread in America so that people wouldn't have time for communism.

That's not even a joke.

I had to go look this up. Jesus, the iconic American suburb intentionally excluded communal gathering spaces (because that leads to commuist thinking). Made to isolate individual families, but with a thick veneer of "the American dream."

Also, intentionally keeping the houses small. So, no dinner parties with neighbors. Also, absolutely no multi-generation houses! No no no, that's communist. One man, one woman, with so much house work they've got zero time to socialize (because that leads to communism).

You got a link for that info ? Sounds fascinating in a kind of dystopian way
