I will never be part of an HOA. I live in a nice neighborhood in a city with _thorough_ housing and zoning laws. I don't need some group of Karens coming around telling my family that the house is lowering _their_ property value just because we have a cherry tree in the front yard and because we painted the house lemon yellow to stand out from the white houses on either side of us.

    Sounds like it could be a movie with a neighbor who moves from California to buy a small farm in Missouri but gets roped into paying for a new fence and has to jump through a litany of obstacles just to not over pay for it and constantly getting dragged into court by his neighbor. It includes a cast of three "uninterested" and unintelligent locals who only serve to make the process longer and more complicated as they extend the process to receive those lucrative 5 dollar checks. He finally completes his task of jumping through as much beurocratic red tape as possible only to be sued by the neighbor on the other side of his property, starting the whole process all over again.

    You can hear the histories of everyday problems in these laws. Fences are no joke -- disputes over a single fence destroyed the social fabric of my neighborhood when I was a kid. Like, people who used to be friends and a community who put on events together stopped talking to each other for years and became hostile as a direct consequence of a fence being erected by one individual. The legal and social consequences cascaded from there but the problems with property, trust, and community are really embodied with the fence; it's purpose and what it represents.

    You might think this is all excessive for fence law but having lived in rural Anatolia where not just fence law but property law itself is, to put it lightly, lax having all this legally written down saves a lot of headaches later on.

    You present all this as if it's some bizarre thing, but in my mind this all makes sense - practically speaking, these aren't actually rules that apply or are followed **all the time**, they're rules that apply ONLY if someone pisses off someone else enough to bother the government to do something about it.

    I'm an old Missourian. I can remember "open range" down here in the Southern Ozarks. That made doing 60 MPH on two-lane roads very interesting. On one of my farms, the guy next door was always having problems with his cattle knocking down the fence. We took care of it like gentlemen. I went and helped him fix the fence. The cattle didn't do anything but eat some grass and leave a few cowpies. BTW, trespass laws are not synonymous with fence laws. If it ain't your land, stay off of it if you don't have permission to be on it. There are various levels of trespass. My boundaries are distinctly marked by fences, ditches, purple paint, or purple tape. People may think fence laws are insignificant, but they aren't. Good fences, make good neighbors.
