Context: I haven’t been able to care for my yard as much as I would like over the past few months because we had our second child back in February and I’ve been single-handedly caring for the newborn and our 5 year old while my wife has been in the hospital recovering from postpartum complications. At no point has my yard been out of compliance with city or HOA ordinances, and at no point has anyone bothered to approach me directly about the matter. Instead, we just received this anonymous passive-aggressive letter in the mail. They even postmarked it and sent it through the mail, rather than walking a few doors down and speaking to me like a human being.

The only possible reasonable response to this is to replace 80% of the lawn with rocks, ferns, water-features, and garden plots, and let the rest grow wild to attract pollinators and piss the neighbours off.
I hate lawns so fucking much.
I'm currently looking at what it would take to xeriscape my lawn. Fuck grass all my homies hate grass.

Too bad hoa will lien you
The trick is to form a vanguard party to usurp and disband the HOA
DSA suburban caucus
I've heard a few stories of people who were pissed off at their HOA going around and organizing the neighborhood, getting enough votes to take over the board, and then legally disbanding the HOA.
It's possible the redditor here lives in a development without a homeowners association, given that their neighbourhood Karen opted for an anonymous letter in the mailbox, rather than officially reporting to said association.
