You've just described an HOA.
This was what I came here to say.
My HOA is thankfully decent, but I know many have but had positive experiences.
When we're talking Lemmy instances, packing up and moving is one thing, but when we're talking residence, who's going to want their local dictator running things?
People like to hate on things like McDonalds or Budweiser and so on, but with that massive oversight and standardization, you gain a consistent product. With laws and their enforcement, it's nice to have that consistency.
Worry about red/blue states is bad enough, let alone if we're talking red/blue streets! Some things are better big and boring.
I wish. Sadly, voting on issues that directly impact you is not a reality yet.
