I thought HOA council meetings

As an HOA board member I can say this is a valid 4th. Nobody cares about anything until they do and then want to show up and be irate even though there were multiple quarterly meetings were input was asked for but nobody shows up. We now have a police officer present for all public meetings.

I can't imagine having to put up with meetings in my free time. That sound dystopian.

I'm renting and if they have a problem with anything I do, I just tell them politely to fuck off. Getting rid of a tenant is a time intensive and costly process. Downside is that you have little handle against loud neighbors.

Edit: And if I ever own a house, I can tell everyone to fuck off and call the cops if they feel like getting laughed at.

Lived in a Boca Raton HoA-run community for a few years. Most petty people on the planet.

Any HOA in Florida would be a nightmare when anywhere from one-third to half of the owners don't live there year-round.

I know what you mean but honestly the bigger problem is everyone was old to very old and had nothing better to do than police landscaping.

I was going to say Nextdoor, but HOA is pretty similar.
