Yes. Neighborhood government would replace the HOA. This would be better though because it’s not going to be all about keeping your lawn no more than an inch and a half high because muh property values

How could you be so sure? The people in he “neighborhood government” would probably be the same, or same kind of, people already in HOAs. They would serve similar functions of providing services and collecting fees/taxes in a neighborhood, and would probably be elected in the same way (democratically). Those people would still have an interest in making their neighborhood look nice or the same tendencies to abuse power as an HOA.

And they would have even more pretext to crack down on cottage industries (lemonade stands, individuals selling homemade crafts, etc.)

Under socialism, housing isn’t treated like an investment so what all gets done would probably be different because goals are different. Tbh if you know anyone from Vietnam you should probably ask them about what this governance model looks like in practice

I don’t know anyone in Vietnam, but I could certainly do some research. The basic incentives don’t really change though. People still want to live in neighborhoods that are safe and aesthetically pleasant. Even if housing isn’t treated as a financial investment, it’s still an investment in the community people live in. Local regulation and power dynamics don’t really disappear under that system.
