It's not quite that bad since there are still zoning regulations in
the HOA free areas.

I'm in Houston. We don't have zoning.

Wow. I had no idea that there was any place as large as Houston with
no zoning laws.

Just remember that if you decide to self-enforce, and you live in the
same neighborhood, turn about may be fair (foul?) play...

Good point! That's exactly why your first response has to be of such
overwhelming force as to absolutely remove both the desire and the ability
of the miscreant to respond. That is, what can we throw at his house other
than an egg?

Hmm. Here's a bottle of a flammable liquid with a rag stuffed in the spout.
Wonder if that would work?

I now can better understand your attitude. In my case I'd rather
switch than fight. My neck is getting just too old and stiff to have
to keep looking over my shoulder...
