       Against the strong objections of the biddies, I am now vice president of the HOA.HOA pres admitted that the pool closing was done by the authority of herself alone and was done as a "courtesy" to the city (her words). I declared that I was removing the chain permanently, which was met with an official eye-rolling "whatever".TLDR, I think I am now an official biddy.

       @johnhattan Is this an American HOA? My folks in Ireland have a 'residents association' for their housing estate and it seems more like a minor pain.But from what I've heard of the American ones, it's like the ninth level of the most absurd kafkaesque hell if you're not lucky.

       @monsoonrains it's a dumpy little former apartment complex. Lots of old people without much money. Some house-flippers and a few weekenders.Most importantly, it is my home. And when I'm being prevented from fixing my pool because the HOA has a personal problem with the marina owners, I get hostile.

       @Judge_Earl_P_Thayton I am being super nice on the Facebook group. I got elected on a wave of outrage from owners regarding the pool. Now I want to move forward.

       @monsoonrains @johnhattan ; to paraphrase Sayre's Law, "[HOA] politics is the most vicious and bitter form of politics, because the stakes are so low."
