My HOA requires a "percentage of green space" which most people have interpreted as lawn. Primarily because it is cheaper (and less effort) to just slap down some Kentucky blue grass and a sprinkler system than it is to plant native plants.

If you violate HOA rules, they can put a lein on your property (fine you) and, in extreme cases, you can be evicted.

Why do HOAs have this power? Property values.

So down at the bottom, what's the reason for the homogeneity and isolation of suburbia?

Laziness and greed.
