HOA member constantly pushes back against her own entitled board to help her fellow neighbors, gives HOA the choice to sue or change: ‘[It] has them steaming.'

It just takes one community member to make the neighborhood a better place. This neighbor even went as far as to joining the HOA just to fight against it. 

Not every Homeowner's Association (HOA) is entitled and greedy. Some actually do good for their community and want the best for their neighbors. Unfortunately, one search of "HOAs" online and you instead find a plethora of homeowners in HOA controlled areas with horror stories. 

This neighbor is one stood that shows how community members can actually stand up against their corrupt HOA boards. The first step? Join the HOA. Sounds counter intuitive, but it's the only way to make a change. 

In the case of this woman, the HOA kept fining her neighbors for tedious reasons and denying their request to better their homes. So, she joined the HOA to push back against all of that entitled behavior. She was the voice for her community and most of the time it worked. She got many fines knocked off, she got pointless "tow away" signs removed, and she even helped one homeowner get the approval to build a shed in her own backyard. 

This last one was a big one because the board was stuck on a rule they made in the '70s that had confusing verbiage. The board believed it meant no shed, but the woman/hoa board member was able to read it more thoroughly and found out it simply meant you cannot camp out on your property during remodeling.
