A homeowner who removed an overgrown English ivy from a building near his parking spot was met with an unreasonable demand from the homeowner's HOA. The HOA stated they liked the ivy and demanded that the homeowner pay for it to be replaced. The homeowner argued that replacing it would be expensive and potentially damage their car and property. However, many commenters found the situation clear, with some arguing that removing the plant was a valuable community service. The issue was noted that HOA members are often resistant to money-saving improvements like planting native gardens or installing solar panels.
