HOA Karens
HOA Karens. No matter where you live, there’s always some HOA Karen trying to control your life. The kids and neighborhood were enjoying playing Pickleball courts for years but they were insanely loud. I heard them one street over. So I think I tracked down who got them shut down. May 1st this Karen posts on Nextdoor (the official HOA Karen app) where to call the city for noise complaints. Then May 8th there’s an inspection of the courts that then shuts them down because the HOA didn’t get a permit to build them. So now for 1.5 years or who knows, they have been closed and collecting weeds and dust. The Karen didn’t like the sound and now doesn’t have to listen to it, but all the people enjoying pickleball can’t play anymore. Then, when they try to use the tennis courts, people say pickleball isn’t allowed. The HOA is ultimately to blame for not getting the right permits but now they don’t seem to be doing anything for years and everyone suffers.
People get so bored in their lives, that they want to control people. They can’t just find something entertaining to do, but instead want to tell everyone how they have to live their lives according to their own b.s. You see this nonsense everywhere: schools, girl scouts. It’s why living alone in a forest is preferable to dealing with these people.
Recently, I witnessed another situation where a neighbor ratted someone out to the city about some non-permitted home modifications because they didn’t like the noise of construction. Now the construction is halted but the neighbor will have to listen to many months more of construction and will actually be worse off having reported them.
Another example is there’s this unlicensed taco stand UNDER THE BRIDGE by the freeway. They’re not bothering anyone and it has a lot of people showing up to eat there. Who gives a shit if they licensed or whatever. They’re literally UNDER A F-ing bridge. They’re on the outskirts of society as much as anyone could ask for. They’re not in the middle of town. They’re not taking business away from other established places. They’re not in some shopping center. So someone rats them out (OF COURSE) because they didn’t like the idea of some Mexican stand making money or anyone enjoying their business. So the business disappears for a month but NOW Is back. I am hoping they got a permit or did whatever to be allowed to sell food (on the damn sidewalk).
People can’t just let people live their lives. Sick of all these jerks.
