'Over a DECK BOX?!': New neighbors get fined by their authoritarian HOA for having a delivery box on their property, sparking a heated debate over HOA futility

DEFUND HOA. This is a mantra that many homeowners and condo-dwellers have chanted in the streets of their prospective neighborhoods with great fervor for many generations. While the concept of an HOA probably means well–keeping landscaping alive, houses looking pretty, and covering the costs of amenity upkeep–the uniformity of suburban Karens can maliciously overpower even the simplest HOA. Corruptible HOA board members have proven that with each monotonous monthly board meeting, their entitlement grows, rearing its ugly head when residents least expect it. 

In our next story, a young couple was sideswiped by their neighborhood HOA after being thrown in the theoretical deep end of the community politics pool. Almost immediately after they moved in, some neighborhood Karen reported to the board that they had a violation sitting on their property–a deck box at the end of their driveway to facilitate delivery driver drop-offs. 

Unencumbered by jaded homeownership, the young couple embraced their violation and decided to try to overrule it. Scroll for the entire story of how this couple outsmarted and will ultimately outlast the elders of their HOA by calling out the most obvious truths.
