They have some control over what color I can paint my front door and the types of business that can move in the area but Kingwood and The Woodlands do not govern themselves.

I don't how older Kingwood neighborhoods operate but you're in the City of Houston right? Who do you pay for water and sewers and stuff, do you have a MUD? I assume your HOA enforces covenants on your property?
The Woodlands is not in Houston at all. It was developed by the eponymous The Woodlands Corporation. I think the way they operate is there's some kind of super-sized HOA that basically operates like a city would but is still a private sector concept.

No way that's happening IMO.
I am not a lawyer and this would be the confluence of some super complicated stuff(police powers of local governments as bounded by historic supreme court decisions and how much federal labor statutes pre-empt states who then grant charters to cities, etc) but I would be really surprised if it was possible a municipality in Nevada or any other state could possibly enforce an ordinance against organized labor activity. I don't think that would be possible.
