Except, uh, no.
Almost everywhere, there is a ton of legal (and other) recourse, as well as a theoretically neutral arbiter who will listen to you and make a decision. There is some due process.
You can argue about the neutrality, the laws, whatever. There's something, and it's recourse for plenty of people/etc.
Here, if all your neighbors get together and want to steal your money, they can steal your money, and you have no recourse.
