People that need to control people will end up using whichever system is in place, be it a HOA or a government. tw is a big advocate of state level regulation which we've mostly managed to avoid in PA. Around here we just build. Rural people hate this stuff because we often don't have the economic power or the inclination to have "professionals" do our construction.

You are confusing state level standards with regulations.

For example, those doors open to a drop. Standards dictate that a rail be installed outside those doors so that someone does not open the door and walk off the ledge.
