When I was young I learned that fence facing etiquette is to have the

Yes. * *Even if the neighbor *prefers* the other side.

An actual "law"? I doubt that, part of HOA agreements, city ordinance
and the like I can see but to have such nit-ppicking written as an
actual law seems to be stretching the "The Law is an ass" concept.

I confess to using the term 'law' to include local ordinances in this
case.

It is *the law* in this house that you clear your plate--- but no
legislature has ever deliberated upon it as far as I know.
