I am in a tract home with a HOA. I hate it. My depression is sinking to
new depths and I am inventing projects just to keep busy.
HOAs are high on my disgust list. If I were in your situation I might plot
schemes to drive HOA directors, managers and trouble-makers over the edge.
Nothing illegal of course, nor blatantly breaking their rules, but finding
cracks in their armor and teasing through. Some HOA nazis make it their
primary work to find homeowners who have the wrong color curtains, leave
something forbidden in the yard, play music too loud, work on cars in the
driveway, or don't mow their lawn on schedule. To help such malcontents
feel valuable, one might do them a service by giving them transgressions to
report to the board. To maximize your pleasure, predict reactions to your
actions and how long it will take to get a written response.
