> garbage dump We already have laws re environment. What really seems to happen with these discussions is dog whistles for “i don’t want them poors next door.

  The difficulty here, as in many cases, comes down to uneven enforcement and unclear lines. Consider the typical example of a consistently noisy neighbor and filing a noise complaint - in many/most cases, often nothing gets done.

    That difficulty lies in the system - which can be resolved/upgraded via various means. But the “concept” of one’s property as investment “outranking” one’s property as a homestead is, in my mind, part of the core concern here. Maybe it’s too “meta” but we already have laws re noise, etc as well as a system in place to modify broken laws. Appreciate your reply!

  Not necessarily so. Lots of expensive developments have HOAs so it's not about making life difficult for people of little means as they cannot afford property in these places -or even rent in these places. Yet, the neighborhood want to have some governance over the development. I prefer less oversight, but some oversight is appreciated to keep things from becoming unmanageable. On the other hand trailer parks, where many poor live, seem to not care much about appearance.
