The local HOA board members could not have been more frustrated with this guy. However, the cherry on top of it all is that he wasn't technically part of the HOA at all, so all their pleas for him to comply with their nonsensical rules went unheard, and there was absolutely nothing they could do about it.
This Redditor had initially asked to be a part of the HOA when he first moved into the neighborhood so that his kids could play in the neighborhood pool and playground. He was willing to pay the fees and comply with the rules in order to join, but he was outright denied for no legitimate reason. So when he planted a mulberry tree that did not comply with said rules and the HOA board members tried to stir up a fuss about it, they learned that they had zero jurisdiction. Matters were made worse when someone cut a big branch from that tree without the Redditor's knowledge, so he clapped back instantly.
