Whoever subjects themselves to living with an HOA needs their heads examined.
I would have completely "gone off" on somebody if I got something like that. You wanna see aggressive behavior? I'll give you aggressive behavior! That is all too close to the situation I had with the HOA I lived in where the idiot property manager told me to "not escalate" the bad situation. I informed her - among other things - that "escalation" is how I get things done.Three days later I get a letter from HOA warning me of my aggressive behavior.

From what I gather they're trying to stick him with legal fees. For what? All that happened was letters back and forth. If they paid some lawyer $6k to read them how is that his problem?
Anyway, reason #5467 why I'll never live in a HOA. The board is ALWAYS run by a bunch of Karens.

It really can be a horrible thing if the president and board members suck.
So true... I'm on my board. 8 or 9 years ago, a handful of us decided to run for the board in order to step in and stop the nonsense that was going on under the leadership at the time. The management company was incompetent; they didn't hold anyone to the CCR's and when they did, they couldn't get it right. The board itself was also a disaster, with no critical thinking skills nor acumen for financial management; they wouldn't spend money on standard preventative maintenance items, didn't manage funds well and took us down an ugly financial path. We, too have done a complete 180 and are now financially strong and on a good path with a beautiful, well-kept community.Which is why it is important to go to the board meetings. Ive gone to every one. The last time a quorum was reached I am told was in 2004. Our community went from somewhere around $50k in debt from unpaid HOA dues, fines and a shitty president/board to now less than $1k with a new president and a great board who is willing to work with everyone. We're strict, but our community looks damn nice and we have money to throw several community events each year.
Funny how some people believe nice neighborhoods cant/dont exist without HOAs in place.
