Take a little vacation there. I think you’ll like it.
It’s true I have not personally been there but my GF from the Philippines has. It’s true I would appreciate the cleanliness and tidiness but I don’t want government to have so much power over personal liberties. I won’t live in an HOA either. I want to be able to work on my car in the driveway and leave things lying around for a few days. Apparently hasn’t affected home values too much — up by 250% in 9 years.
