'I became the HOA president': Resident gets even with neighbors who block his parking spot by joining HOA; becomes president, fines them

Karens infiltrate slowly into virtuous neighborhoods with a heavy sense of entitlement, ignoring HOA bylaws, under the assumption that they are divinely above it all. In this case, OP had a couple of parking spots that were legally his, that were occasionally empty. Whether they were occupied or not, OP's new neighbors took advantage of the Australian law which was lacking in the car parking department, and decidedly parked their own cars in those spots. They also began inviting family, friends, and other people to park there as well. They ended up continuously blocking OP's car, or taking his spot. At first, OP communicated, but realized quickly that wasn't going to cut it.

So he began hatching his plan for revenge… deciding to take it to the next level, and play the long game. His efforts certainly paid off. In Australia, they have what we would (more or less) call an HOA, but they call it the 'strata committee'. OP joined this committee, and within 6 months was elected president. He made sure that his neighbors paid heavy fines, and generally made parking an extremely miserable sport.
