Man started an ‘uncensored’ Facebook page after his HOA refused to explain where $2 million went. Now he’s changing his will

Not all homeowners are happy living with an HOA, but very few are petty or brave enough to do something about it. A person who goes by u/alliebaba2020 took to Reddit to share their plans to trouble their former HOA. They knew their HOA was milking at least $2 million a year, but the board had never been transparent with their spending. After the author sold their house and was free of the rules, they finally decided to take revenge. They created a Facebook page so residents could openly discuss the HOA's problems, and even planned to pass it down to the next generation. They shared the post on November 6, 2026. It garnered more than 4,000 upvotes.

The HOA's little secrets

The author explained that the rules or "covenant" of their HOA were written in 1970. For over 50 years, they remained the same because residents could not gather enough votes to change them. On top of that, the author knew the HOA "pull[ed] in $2 million a year," but they never explained where the money went. Frustrated by the lack of transparency, the author created a Facebook page named "[Development Name] Uncensored," where residents could share any information they had about the HOA.

The petty revenge

In September 2025, the narrator sold their house. But the sale did not go smoothly. The HOA tried to stop it. But the author eventually hired a real estate lawyer to represent them and to complete the second part of their revenge. They planned to file formal complaints against the HOA and each of its managers with the government agencies that were responsible for overseeing them. "No lawsuit. Just gonna make their life a little complicated. And I'm keeping the FB page open, and when I die, I'll will it to someone," the narrator wrote.

Red Flags, HOA edition

HOAs often make headlines for disputes with homeowners, and this is one of them. A study by 2-10 found that more than half of the respondents (54%) reported having negative experiences with their HOAs. The Colorado DORA DRE survey, cited by Condo Connection, found that 30.2% of residents reported problems with their HOAs regarding accounting or finances. Another 21.4% reported their HOAs for failure to produce records. The author despised their HOA and planned to do the same by filing formal complaints against their HOA with the authorities.

'Board is definitely lining its pockets'

Netizens supported the author and suggested ways to fight their HOA. u/praetorian1979 commented, "If anyone needs a liquid a** glitter bomb delivered to their homes, it's that board." u/LordGraygem wrote, "$2 million a year and no explanation for where it goes? Yep, that board is definitely lining its pockets."
