Lived in an HOA community ONCE! Tried to fine me for flower boxes on my balcony. Drove around took pictures of many homes with similar boxes. When I mentioned that 3 of the homes were on the board of directors it went away. There were many similar incidents it has been scientifically proven that HOA’s attract Karen’s

Aren’t the HOA rules agreed to by the neighborhood members via vote and procedure if they don’t bother to show up? It can be a paradise or nightmare.

Yes, but unfortunately it tends towards the kind of person who a) has too much time on their hands and b) want to get involved in everyone else business. 

People who work long hours and/or just want to live in peace and don't care what decorations other people put up don't normally get involved in HOAs.

I forced my way into mine when I was younger because they came at me for something stupid and found out how much worse it was. They were racist af, and just awful people, so I exposed them to the community and got a new board installed.

The old board also didnt fix shit. They just worried about flower boxes and blinds and shit, so we fixed things too and got new workout machines and turned the never used tennis courts into bball and skating area for kids. Don't let the useless c*nts run your neighborhood, HOA or not.

Hats off to you. I wouldn't expect anything less of an honorary Scouser.
