She was the widow of a WWII vet and didn't understand the inplications and was afraid to tell her children that she was introuble. Plus she tried to pay in full but the HOA had already decided to be !@#$% about it. No way around it and sugar coat the law/rules/whatever. They got a ticket for the short bus to hell. Maybe they can get into a HOA there. The HOA's were not ment for that. They were ment to keep people from trashing the neighborhoods with cars on blocks/unkept yards, tall grass and weeds, loud parties, and other things that would cause people not to want to live in them. They have been corrupted by power and dont realize that one day their time will come.

Side note: In my town

A very new HOA neighborhood went bankrupt after that story hit. Nobody wanted to buy or build a home there. The HOA was no more and now the neighborhood has lots with grass over your waist, cars parked on the street, at least one brokedown car on the street and 3 houses that are unfinished and haven't been touched in over a year because the builder folded during construction.
