I lived both in dense neighborhoods, rural neighborhoods, and suburbs. Trust me, the more things you give your neighbor to do, the more shenanigans they will make, especially in place where everyone is bored out of their mind.

I don't care how much they do, I care about how close they all are to me while they do it.

What about going to your doorstep to tell you that you need to maintain a lawn? your door needs to be a certain color? Or you cannot park your car on your own property? Or you cannot park somewhere simply because "they have always parked there? Or deafening motor noise that can be heard a block away right across the road from you? leaf blower and lawn mower so loud that literally require the person to wear a head phone to operate safely, right next to your house?

These are just a few things I have seen in the suburbs. Are these count as "close enough to you"?

I don't see why you would expect an absense of these things in a city?

No, I have experience none of these in the cities, because a lot of time, there is no HOA, most places do not have lawns, and I dont need a car in the city.

Also there are in general lawn mowing and leaf blowing are much more moderate in city, because they know they are surrounded by people.

I grew up in a house in a city with a garden with a lawn which had to be regularly mowed with a lawnmower. We don't have "HOA"s in our country.

Wow. Your country is very different from my country.
