Never heard of a residents’ association? They’re common in many countries around the world.

If you think this is a uniquely American thing, you’re sorely mistaken.

Oh yeah we have something similar, but they have no teeth, more like a volunteer lobby group. Then we have parish councils, they can be complete knobs, but there power is tightly controlled through actual laws and legislation. Most of the other types are management companies that oversee things like a block of flats (condo/apartments). Its very strange to have something that covers separate houses.
