Ugh this isn't what HOAs are for!

HOAs are intended to harass and discriminate against black and brown people so that they don't move in, or at least immediately leave.

Not white guys with majestic beards.

He must've been giving water to black or brown people, it's the only justifiable reason.

Lol I was going to make a joke here about "Redline Homes Inc." - but it turns out there really is such a company, in Oklahoma of course.

HOA's are for people who used to be in positions of perceived power at work but now they're retired and they miss bossing/bitching at people.

They're for people who don't feel dominated enough by daddy government so they add another layer.

Maybe HOA members need to be introduced to kink. There’s a safe way to dom, folks!

I wouldn’t be surprised if prudish repression underlies a lot of their decisions too. Oh, the world we could live in if uptight people could simply indulge in powerplay kink now and then.
