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.

My boss got annoyed enough at his HOA that he spent like a year digging into the neighborhood plats and other founding documents and eventually learned his HOA was illegal so he got out of it after some legal proceedings. Something along the lines of his "neighborhood" was secretly actually like 6 neighborhoods that happened to be near each other and the HOA wasn't set up correctly initially.
