Imagine being the kind of personality who genuinely wants to live in a strict HOA neighborhood.

We come across a ton of HOA stories on the internet, and rarely do we hear about one that current residents of the neighborhood actually like. The Redditor who shared this story even referred to it a "non-HOA HOA" in the sense that they only really enforced rules that applied to common areas. Other than that, people could do whatever they wanted with their homes (and it sounds like they really did). It was a harmonious relationship between the board members of the association and the rest of the neighborhood population.

All of this was threatened when a boomer Karen came waltzing into the neighborhood and immediately started trying to make the HOA much more intense. Let's just say that her energy was not welcomed into the neighborhood, and she ended up not sticking around for very long.
