They don’t care about your property, right. No one wants 12 inch grass.

It is you who is wrong. The HOAs exist to make people respect human living conditions, not the contractor-grade specs the city enforces for its purposes.

Try to picture a city with just the city rules enforced. All right, it’s 1 foot tall grass, not three feet. OK, it’s three trash bags with rats, not 12.

That enough? Of course it isn’t.

The grass matters to the city when it overflows onto its property. One hopes that in the vast majority of cases, people will maintain their property a bit better on their own. The HOA just makes it possible to ensure that. The vast majority of HOAs aren’t PITAs, only the extreme stories make it to the news.

If you like your lawn 1 foot tall with trash bags everywhere, move to where there is no HOA. I realize there are fewer and fewer trailer parks these days, but that’s not my fault.

I don’t know how to put it simpler.

" Your just wrong here, and one sign of a well adjusted adult is knowing when to admit they’re wrong."

It’s “you’re”, and I’m not, and take your own advice.
