HOA Vs. The Duck Feeder

This one is mind-blowing. Kathleen Rowe, a homeowner in Texas, is being sued by her HOA for feeding the ducks in the neighborhood. They didn’t fine her $100 like a sane HOA would or even leave a simple note as a warning. No, they are suing her for $250,000 for violating deed restrictions.

Rowe has been feeding the ducks for over ten years. The neighbors are mad because the ducks are noisy and messy and basically act like ducks. They truly believe that if she stops feeding them, they’ll go away. It’s somewhat baffling. The ducks live there! They aren’t just there because she feeds them. She has her house up for sale in case she has to pay. I can’t blame her.
