Rich HOA president insists schoolteacher neighbor paint home, neighbor chooses unusual color scheme: 'The president's home didn’t sell for two years'

This HOA president thought he had the perfect plan to get what he wanted, but his neighbor spoiled it with just a single color of paint. 

When you're wealthy, you can get used to getting your way 100% of the time. Money can buy you ease — you're used to demanding things, holding out a fistful of cash, and watching people fall into line. If you get in trouble, you pay your way out of it. If you're wealthy enough, you might face adversity very rarely. Instead, you get used to people groveling and admiring you, and it makes you think you can do literally anything you want to — consequence-free. 

All the money in the world can't buy you respect, as the HOA president of this town learned the hard way. He basically tried to strong-arm a neighborhood into cooperating with his project, which residents did not care for. He especially didn't plan for a schoolteacher neighbor who easily outsmarted him! Read the full story below and see who you side with — the HOA president, or the smart-aleck neighbor who got the pettiest revenge possible.
