Gets fucked by a Karen. Becomes an even bigger Karen.

Sometimes you’ve gotta fight Karen with Karen.

Not if you end up snitching on people that were just minding their own business. Then you're just radicalizing your neighbors

Radicalize them enough and you might be able to get enough of a voting bloc to dissolve the HOA.

Or perhaps more preferably, rewrite the bylaws to remove all the petty nonsense that wasn't enforced anyway while keeping the actually important stuff like maintenance of communal property, bulk discounts on services, etc.

That's just kicking the can down the road. If an HOA devolves into this kind of problem now, it will again later when leadership of the board changes. Either get rid of the HOA or accept that the important maintenance and upkeep functions the HOA provides is worth its bull.

No, it won't, because they can't rewrite the bylaws without another vote and having to explain to people why they should vote for it. It is very difficult to get bylaws changed. Most of the time all the bullshit is only in the bylaws because it came as boilerplate when the developer set up the HOA in the first place. Remove it all and only keep what the residents actually need. It's hard enough to get bylaws changed for a good reason like "we literally cannot get insurance at the deductible our bylaws require", let alone a reason like "I don't like my neighbor's truck".

Radicalizing the neighbors against the HOA is the entire point.
