I honestly hate raking, and I love the sounds of autumn. Unfortunately I'm surrounded by retirees whose sole form of purpose is lawn care and they just call my landlord to force me to do it cuz it's "bad for the grass" or some other dumb shit.

Telling your tenants what they can and cannot do with their rented property should be some kind of violation of the right to quiet enjoyment of property.

This and the HOA shit is really weird to me. America is all like "we highly value our personal freedom and private property" but then HOA's and landlords come in and want to tell you exactly what you have to do with your yard. What the hell?

Yes but part of the American dream is buying a house, having it skyrocket in price, and sell it for multiples of the original price. And if your neighbourhood looks anything but pristine, you're preventing these people from achieving their dreams! Will no one think of these poor people's investments?

That must be more right than what I used to think, because it's certainly not any kind of freedom.

I don't think there's a place in the West that demands more obedience and denies more freedoms in the average man's life than USA does.
