Got an email from the HOA about "excessive use of outdoor space." Took me a second to even figure out what they meant. Turns out it’s about me sitting outside my own place in the evenings. I usually bring a chair out near the front and just sit there for a bit, sometimes on my phone, sometimes talking to a neighbor if they’re around.

Apparently that’s now considered "loitering" in a shared area. I emailed back asking what exactly I’m supposed to do differently. They said I should limit how long I stay outside and avoid "establishing a presence." I get that it’s technically shared space, but it’s also right outside my place. Not really sure if I’m missing something or if this is just one of those HOA things.
