What do you call a bunch of Karen’s?

An HOA.

I don’t think a HOA would have an appreciation for my race cars. My one near neighbor loves the sound of them!

Back in the 1960s there was an airline pilot who loved down the street from me. He had a GT-500. He’d take it for a spin on occasion. Talk about a “full-throated roar!” Loved the sound of that thing.

I have said people need to start anti-HOAs.

These look like HOAs but they have no powers, expressly no way to amend their charters to add powers, no fees as well.

The only things the anti-HOA might do could be rules for a quarterly or so pot-luck picnic ... that way it did SOMETHING so if folks the street over started getting uppity you could say: no thanks, we actually have an HOA of our own.

It would be like incorporating a neighborhood so a nearby town couldn’t gobble it up.

HOAs would be ok if they took a couple dollars, and their sole function was taking care of the flowers around the neighborhood entrance sign, and maybe organizing a neighborhood party for St Paddy's Day or such. Otherwise, just not really worth it.
