> A few other neighbors who were maliciously caring for their lawn

I think you meant meticulously, but it works either way. :)

It gets malicious real quick when they invoke the power of the HOA to force you to tame the wilderness in your back yard. :(

The next part is "have done the same as I have and we've got a much larger wild area now" so I suspect it was not "malicious"
