My take on HOAs is that the HOA is likely the reason they bought in the neighborhood in the first place. The rules were likely in place at the time they bought and were clearly disclosed. If that is the case, either follow the rules or sell the home.
Honestly, I wouldn’t my neighbor exercising their generator a couple of times per month it is excessively noisy.

HOAs still retain the power. The Board can shut a management company down with a quickness. Or just fire them. Ask me how I know.
If a management company is doing shady or dumb shite, that's purely on the HOA for letting it happen. Which is then on the neighborhood for not keeping the HOA accountable.

Stories like this make me think most HOA's are run by a person that has little to no gray area where common sense should be applied.
I've said it many times----I will not live in a community with an HOA since so many are run by the "Karen's" of the world.

People who serve on HOA boards are generally people who have nothing else of value to do. They are usually the worst and most useless people in the neighborhood. Geriatric boomer Karens who are miserable and need to assert themselves in a never ending quest for validation and self-worth. People of substance don't have the time or tolerance to be on HOA boards.

I'd never live in a place where someone might get offended by me grilling a steak.

I'm assuming the dickhead(s) who sent the email is in Arizona or Oregon or somewhere. Either way, I'd demand we meet at center ice and settle this shite.

I bet they were doing something stupid with it

Metropolitan Properties
They are the worst in Nashville. We had them as property managers and our HOA fired them after a year.
In this case I suspect it was Metropolitan Properties being assholes and not necessarily the HOA.

The problem is that the HOAs contract out the management to outside people and they live to write letters to homeowners.
We have relatives who lived in south Houston whose home got bashed by a hurricane about 15 years ago. Less than a week after, they got a letter saying they needed to get their fence fixed… the damn power hadn’t even been restored.

HOA Pres lives there and is probably running his own generator. This was the moronic management company, a Karen employer if there ever was one, likely goaded on by the community's one or two cat lady residents who are staying warm under their blanket of feral cats.

they are declaring war on a family with threats of that nature. be prepared what you demand for.

Now this is pretty damn close to accurate.

So was no one in the neighborhood with power or generators?
Posted on 1/30/26 at 9:08 am to BowDownToLSU
I would have lit that letter on fire in the middle of the street in front of my house while my generator ran
Posted on 1/30/26 at 9:16 am to BowDownToLSU
HOAs sound like a nightmare, and I’m glad I don’t have to deal with one. That said, are generators safe at a place like this?

20 ft from a home is usually the rule of thumb.

There really is something to be said about HOA’s and what happens when people are given power. My old neighborhood is Geismar is now run by a dictator who shitposts on FB about her haters.
