As someone who’s trying to talk her husband into urban chickens,… I don’t want someone telling me how to landscape or what (LEGAL) pets I can have.
… an HOA that imposes rules and doesn’t give me benefit other than making the neighborhood cookie cutter… I’ll leave that for those that prefer a more Stepford neighborhood.

So it’s you we need protection from! I would probably not appreciate chickens next door, that’s for sure.
The biggest problem you personally would have had with an HOA is that there is a fair chance it wouldn’t have allowed your granny flat, depending on how the HOA docs were written. Since your flat overlooks the neighbors down the hill, there is little doubt they would have objected to the HOA board.
