Little Kurdistan

1)An area on the south side of Nashville Tennessee around Nolensville road, which very likely contains the largest Iraqi Kurdish population outside the Middle-East. Also home to many other immigrants from a wide variety of mother tongues, especially those who are spanish speaking.

2)Any other enclave where the largest ethnic group without it's own state has a strong presence

The Area around Little Kurdistan is a magnet for North African, Bantu, East Indian, Southeast Asian, Eastern European and Hispanic immigrants.

Little Saigon

Any neighborhood with a significant Vietnamese presence

e.g. the Southside neighborhood of Louisville KY & the Tenderloin District in San Francisco.

Many are a separate enclave within a larger, pre established Chinatown.

Texas, Northern and Southern California each have multiple cities containing one or more Little Saigon.

Homeowners Association

An omnipresent force in suburbia, or at least in most of it's residential neighborhoods.

A quasi-fascist governing board, often set up by a subdivision's real-estate developer, who strictly enforce such rules and building codes as...

-Grass must be kept watered, golf course green and closely manicured, even during times of drought and water shortages

-No one uses their yard to grow their own food

-No patch of land may be permitted to return to it's natural state

-No rooms or other additions may be permitted above or in front of the existing home

-No potter's shed or tool shed may be allowed anywhere on the property

-No yard ornaments

-No rain barrels

and so on.

The homeowners association says you can't put an addition onto the front of the house. They also said you couldn't add a 2nd level (which would keep any additional property from being paved over.) They said that the only place you could add on was the back (which paradoxically is the only yard anyone ever actually uses.)

To get another idea of what a homeowner's association is like, watch the 1999 episode of the X-Files by the name of "Arcadia."

spread

The land which belongs to someone.

They had a 4 acre spread on the outskirts of "town" and a large gun collection. They were afraid of the government.
