How suburban criminals pay off the police, I believe.

why do i have to pay them??

Wait, is there an HOA?? How much are the dues? I don't want to pay those.

It doesn't say, it just says we need to pay them before the deadline.

I suppose that means you've been chosen.

I'm not going to do it

Keep us informed if they send enforcements after you. If it's the brownies just protect your ankles.

Are they allowed to do that?

I think they supersede all local authority.

I believe it's just spelled "ho," actually, and it's not the kindest thing to say.

No it's HOA and they live next door to us.

Oh dear. Can you, like, [...] get rid of it?

Oh, GOOD idea. I'll try asking nicely if we can SKIP this sort of payment or have a DISCOUNT for being GOOD TENANTS. The squeaky broom gets the polish and all that.

You might want to ask them for the good tenant discount before Gilly starts throwing rocks.

Why won't they answer their door

Can you see through their window?

No but I bet I can break one of them

Wait I want to watch

Does anyone have any big rocks

Yeah I have a big hunk of quartz

If this doesn't work I know where to get some acidic earthworms

Please don't mess up my little square of lawn. 😢

I can't control their minds tho. That's unethical.

Pleaaasseee?

I could control a fart beetle mind, they're fine

Could you sic fart beetles on them instead? For me? 🥺

I've got beater's bats and a wicked arm

Wait for me too!

Ohh! They're VERY American! It's how we keep riffraff out of the neighborhood!

I didn't ask to be included in this

Oh, they're not optional. If you live in a HOA neighborhood you have to pay the monthly dues or else they can fine you, file a lawsuit against you, and even foreclose on your home.

THIS IS AN APARTMENT BUILDING IN LONDON

This IS an apartment building in London! And I hate being told what to do. Besides: there's more of us than there are of them. What's the worst they can do?
