Depending on where you live and how bad a yard gets, it can be a real problem. Here, for example, it can be an invitation to snakes or other wildlife that aren’t confined to that property.

That said, I’m -1 on HOAs. I’ve heard far too many complaints and too few people happy with them to deal with one.

I've had quail, deer, mice, raccoons, coyotes, moles, hawks, snakes, lizards, bees, wabbits, squirrels, gophers ground beavers, bobcats, owls, and even eagles hanging out on my property. I'm in the middle of the metropolitan area, too. I don't mind them :-/ A couple years ago a coyote mom decided the front yard was the perfect place for her to watch her 7 pups grow up. She'd keep a weather eye on me, and I enjoyed watching them.

A couple months ago a coyote decided to poop on my front door. Obviously, it was sending a message, but I'm not sure what it was.

Probably didn't like my HackerNews posts!
