Plot

"How d'you say "taco" in Mexican?" This section is in Engrish. Please correct the article, or discuss the issue on the talk page.

Lisa fails at guessing the amount of jelly beans in a jar, though Homer is successful and the family win a hot tub filled with jelly beans. Homer soon gets a visit from Herb Barnstable, member of the home association, who says he can not have it on his plot, and gives him a list of things to do. Homer goes to the next meeting to complain but falls asleep before he can express his opinion. When he awakes, he meet Skip Tarrington, who also has problems with the association and thinks Homer should run to become the new housing association president.

Homer decides to stand, but he doesn't get positive response so he goes back to Skip, who tells me he most connect with the voters on a personal level by getting them to believe that you're just like them. Homer begins by knocking on doors in the neighborhood and begins to spread lies about Herb, with the result being Homer is the new president. Attributed the profit reminds Homer that he is alone, though Lisa reminds him that the neighborhood believes in him because they voted for him. It's time for Homer's first meeting and says he will change things, attributed to protein residues from the board. Homer takes his mission seriously and changes many things, much to the neighbors' despair, causing them to hate him more than ever. Lisa calls him tyrant, but Bart thinks Homer will continue as he does.

Among the list of things Homer does to cause this profound hatred includes towing away an ambulance, prohibiting flowers that he is allergic to, only allowing painting with the right white, using goats as lawn mowers and restricting fence height.

When Homer burns down Ned's cross, as it was a public display of religion, Homer realizes that he has gone too far, as when the neighborhood saw him burning the cross they form a mob outside the house. Homer considers going out and speaking with the neighbors, but Marge discourages him, so Lisa do it, but they don't care about her understanding. Homer runs away from the house and discovers Skip's home, where he discovers Skip talking with a bunch of rich investors.

Skip tells them that the area will become a golf course and shows a model of it, with the whole scheme being thanks to Homer who has caused no one to want to live in the area. Homer confronts Skip, who says he can not be stopped. Homer tells the mob to come to Skip's house, where they learn the truth, and start chasing the rich instead. Lisa asks Homer if he has learned a lesson, which he has, but not in the way that Lisa hoped.
