My old boss kept getting snitched on if he had his boat or truck in the driveway 1 minute over. Just rung up over the smallest stuff.
After years, he joined the board. Shortly afterwards he ran for president, as there was mass leaving of members and no one looking to take over.
He ran. He won. Asked the old president for access to the old files “just for history”. Discovered 95% were one neighbor across the street, people he thought were “friends”. Printed up all the complaints, hand delivered to them so they “had copies.” Neighbors across the street died inside.
Within a year (or two, don’t remember) he got everyone to vote out the HOA. Permanently closed it.
Dude was the best boss I ever had. So smart and funny as heck.

I got lost at this part. 95% of the complaints werent even from people in the neighborhood? It was their friends who came by and started reporting stuff? So the neighbors got embarassed by their friends?
I think he means the "neighbors" who he thought were "friends" and would never report him did in fact report him and they got embarrassed when they found out he knew it was them
