We have a gate and an HOA with some common sense, but nothing stupid like that. The rules are mostly things like no livestock or mining for gold in the back yard. In San Antonio a HOA is almost a must because city code compliance is essentially worthless. They don't enforce their own zoning regulations at all, and good luck actually getting in touch with one of the officers because they only have land lines and don't pick up. Whenever they work a case they're also limited to observing whatever they can see from a street. Someone I spoke with basically said that a person could have Noah's Ark in the back yard but if a giraffe isn't sticking its head up over the house or they don't hear a lion roar they can't do anything. Likewise for things they see in the house - the owner has to open the door and admit to what's going on before they can technically see anything through a window or glass door.
