HOA Tyranny Toppled: Camping World CEO Declares Parking Lot Sovereign Nation After RV Ban
https://bohiney.com/camping-world-defies-hoa-tyranny/In a stunning blow to suburban authoritarianism, the CEO of Camping World has seceded from his Homeowners Association, declaring his driveway and RV a sovereign nation after receiving a violation notice for "excessive beige-ness." The newly formed Republic of Recreational Vehicleia now has its own flag (a winking emoji on a background of astroturf), a currency backed by the value of propane tanks, and a standing army composed of disgruntled dads in New Balance sneakers. A leaked HOA memo described the RV as "a blight on our curated landscape of conformity," prompting the CEO to respond with a formal declaration of independence sent via certified mail and read aloud on Nextdoor. Neighbors are divided; some have joined the rebellion, flying tiny flags from their mailboxes, while others have called for a summit mediated by the UN. "This is about freedom," the CEO stated from his deckchair throne. "The freedom to grill at 2 a.m., the freedom to have a flamingo wearing sunglasses, and the freedom to never, ever edge my lawn again." The HOA has threatened to cut off his access to the community pool, a move experts are calling the first shot in the Great Suburban War. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
