Is block captain a common thing? (sopuli.xyz)

I am re-watching King of the Hill and Hank Hill is the block captain of Rainy Street. Is that a thing all over the US or more state or city specific? Is this a serious side-job and does a block captain get something in return? And how to become one?

Ahh interesting. That still seems to be different than in europe. I am not aware of HOA being a thing on community level. At least in my country it's just a big lobby and legal organization. They help you with legal services if you have trouble for example with construction companies. I think the stuff that your HOA does is here handled by the municipality. You don't have to be HOA member.
