I am re-watching King of the Hill and Hank Hill is the block captain of Rainy Street. Is that a thing all over the US or more state or city specific? Is this a serious side-job and does a block captain get something in return? And how to become one?

And that can vary widely! In my neighborhood we have an optional $100 per year HOA fee. It goes to planting flowers at the entrance, helping pay the water bill of the guy who lives at the corner and waters those flowers, and repairing the brick wall beside the street that cars keep crashing into. The HOA president collects those fees and runs the Facebook page to let people know when there’s a crime issue, cars getting broken into or things stolen out of garages, stuff like that.
