I LOVE the response from this homeowner to the "Karen's" of this world! Our boys built a fort out in our woods when they were young so totally get this.What is your contribution to the rogue's gallery of gutless wonders who want to control the world while hiding behind HOA's, the police and human shields?

I don't feel one bit sorry for people that have this sort of thing happen. They knew there was a HOA when they bought the place. Or if it happened after, they failed to move out...
When we lived in Orlando we purposefully lived in an area that did NOT have one. We had a garden, and chickens in the backyard in a close to downtown Orlando area .
Along a quiet waterway in the master-planned neighborhood of Bridgeland in Cypress, a family pastime has turned foul.
June 11, the retired couple George and Kathleen Rowe were sued by their homeowners association for feeding the ducks. The requested relief? A court order never to do it again, in addition to monetary relief, which standard language indicates would not go above $250,000. Link To Article
“My parents’ HOA has a rule that you are NOT allowed to cut down trees without a “permit” from them, at ANY time, for ANY reason.
The first winter they lived there, there was an ice storm and a tree fell onto the neighbor’s deck, taking out his entire deck and the sliding glass door that went from his kitchen to his deck.
My dad went over with his chainsaw to help him cut down the tree that was now in his kitchen, and, MID-STORM, someone from the association heard the chainsaw and came over asking if they had a permit, to cut apart the tree in my neighbor’s kitchen. IIRC, he told them to get bent and they tried to give him a $1,000 fine for cutting down a tree without a permit.” Link
“I used to live in a HOA. One of the members on the board lived across the street from my neighbor and I.
He sent a letter to us saying that we all have to mow the lawn on the same day, at the same cut height, and in the SAME PATTERN to create uniformity in the neighborhood.
My neighbor and I intentionally cut on different days and in opposite patterns just to annoy the guy.” Link
“I was once “warned” about storing my trash in view of the street. I thought to myself, “That’s funny, I’m pretty on top of the trash”, so I checked the date of the infraction.
Sure enough, it was trash day.
They were upset at me about putting my trash out on trash day.” Link
“I had an HOA try to enforce that I had much too old of a car to be in the driveway. Mind you, no rust, always clean, never dusty/dirty. Went to court and the judge ordered a full audit of the HOA. It was not enforceable at all, they paid my legal fees and last I knew they have yet to police anything.” Link
A little more story neededMy husband had his first 'Full Karen' experience on Saturday- I'm half annoyed, half amused. She picked the wrong person.
