is that not more like a city council or city government like depicted in hot fuzz? american cities still have city government that restricts things like cars in your yard and building without permits, so it is also basically like an hoa, but hoas tend to get even more nitpicky and tell you what shape your windows all need to be, how many bushed you need to plant and where, what kind and color of pain you can use, what kind of trash bins you can use and that they can only be visible for an hour after trash pickup, and when you have to put up holiday decorations and how the range of pieces of flair you must use to decorate your house during each holiday.
