If only workers’ unions were so widespread and powerful as HOAs...
I want to talk to your manager... about workers' rights!
A large group of Karens is called an annoyance.
I though it was agreed it was a complaint...
I was under the impression it was called a Privilege
Nuisance is the legal term.
HOAs just like unions and governments are as good as the people that involve themselves in them and the less people represented in the democracy the more power you have in it so if you're not happy then get involved.
In my experience the people that “involve” themselves are raging clowns with superiority complexes.
Oh, I am happy... I have no HOA.
That comment wasn't directed at you specifically.
True in theory, and while I realize that this is purely anecdotal, in my experience as a contractor, HOAs are invariably a giant pain in the ass to deal with.
What you want as a contractor is a professional property management company that's used to dealing with construction contractors and is familiar with industry standards and basic reality.
Fortunately I don't work in residential construction anymore.
I kinda agree with you. In theory, they definitely are. But at the same time, in practice, the already bad reputation of HOAs seems to attract the worst kind of people. It's a political position and suffers just like any other political position. The kinds of people who'd be best at it often don't want to do it because it's toxic.
While in USA Karens are relatively yong, in post-Soviet countries they are...
A group of them called Grannys Near Entrance or Grannyguards
The younger babushkas (60-70) run flat associations (HOAs for blocks of flats) in my country. Very strict about what you can put on your door, mailbox etc.
We don't have them in Australia that I'm aware of, but they do sound atrocious. What happened to that land of the free?

TL;DR: racism and segregation.

My HOA only has rules for weeds and not blocking sidewalks with cars. I thought I was going to hate it, but honestly it keeps things nice. In my last neighborhood so many assholes would have boats and RVs literally parked on the sidewalk.
We do have them in the Czech Republic but only in blocks of flats, not neighborhoods.
Turns out the rights of private property supersede the quaint concept of "freedom".
They’re basically stratas and body corporations in Australia, except the laws basically make them not as powerful as HOAs
The word "homeowner" contains the word "meow" in it; now you can't read "homeowner" in any other way.
Thank you for this gift
potentially NSFW (language)
Shorted down to "Ho Ass"
I read somewhere else another suggestion for a name which was brilliant: Klanned Karenhood
Why is this so accurate 😭🤣
Or Mumsnet
Flashbacks to being 17-18 and working retail.
Is that Tatiana Maslany?
Have you seen Orphan Black? Everyone is Tatiana Maslany. Even me. Even you.
American crime writer, Karin Slaughter, threw a cute little Easter Egg into one of her books. One of the busybody residents in an upscale neighborhood is named Alison Hendrickson.
a cuntry...
Wow now we finally reached ‘karen’ replacing ‘nerd’ insults. I think at some point if you’re just complaining that someone else you don’t like keeps picking up the slack, unused reigns from the ground; the problem lies more with all the other people refusing to pick them up.
Want to fix this? Vote Basically. Or run it yourself so a ‘karen’ doesn’t just take whatever. Problem isn’t the system if you think it’s supposed to just magically cater to you without any of your interest or input.
Are you having a gaggle, mate?
A cornucopia.
