They're due to a combination of post-1965 diversity and overpopulation. There are apparently a lot of people who want to live in terrible areas, but want their immediate neighbors to care for their yard and homes exterior as if they were humans.
The home owners association makes rules that members legally have to follow. "No broken washing machines in your front yard" would be an example of a minimum standard. The nature of the thing tends to attract busybodies to make rules, and they can become absurd if few pay attention.
