Living in an HOA neighborhood means you should not be surprised to find a nosy Karen or three. So what can you do when one decides that you are going to be the target of their explosive wrath and rage? If she's got the HOA laws on her side, fighting this would be an expensive mess. If you give in, sure, the Karen is going to win, but it's better to take the target off your back than submit to months of war. In short, it's just not worth it.
Now, there are a few ways that you can give in while still acknowledging to your local Karen that she's a terrible person. You don't have to bow down. You can maliciously comply, you can enact some petty revenge, and you can throw all the shade in her vengeful direction. This Karen's neighbor was pressured by her and the HOA to take down the tree house in his backyard that he built for his kids. Karen's argument was simply that it was obstructing her view during her daily walks, but clearly, she had the HOA's priorities in the palm of her hand so she got exactly what she wanted. Still, the father managed to let her know how "casually cruel" she was, so hopefully she has trouble sleeping at night (probably not).
