My grass is cut, my property looks fine. On 3 occasions they have tried to push me on an issue. My response each time has been “Are you sure that you want to go to war over that point?” and each time they’ve backed down.
What were the 3 issues? <leans in>

Toddler pool in the front yard.

When our tree started coming down, I had to move some of the larger branches to common area out of the way from walkways until the tree removal company could arrive, which took 2 days.
-
the exact shade of dark brown on the back of our patio doors.

We currently have a big pile of crappy old lumber on our front lawn that was left behind by the guy who replaced the awful wooden support for the flower bed with a nice stone wall. I see this guy walk past every day, looking at it and wishing there was an HOA.
At some point we'll hire a skip.

No HOA? A container of barbecue briquet lighter and a match ought to do it...

Someone suggested “HOA” as the term of venery for Karens.
“An HOA of Karens”

That checks out.
Also glad to see you've come around to accepting Karen in the vernacular, as a word that describes something we all understand.

Imagine an analogous memetic complex concerning “Laqishas” and whether or not it would get the same play.

Middle age white female is necessary for Karen but hardly sufficient. The resonance is about personality characteristics. Which are of course not exclusive to the phenotype.
