I see someone else is interested in the crafting stuff. Please give to them, I'd rather not make you itemize, lmao.

Hopefully your move goes well!

There's a place in the mall food court called Chop Chop Salad. Right by the food court entrance. Good salads, lots of options.

I mean, sure.

Firing someone on the basis that you don't like them is basically a lawsuit waiting to happen. Wrongful termination is a Thing. And that's what's happening here, except we get to pay for their dumb reasons, which is why a lot of people are frustrated.

I've only known Columbia under Boyd. I have friends that have lived here far longer, and they tell me I'm lucky - "she doesn't let the board get away with shit" and "it's about time someone put them in their place". Even before articles like the one in the OP, the board has always been painted (to me, in my experience), at best, as people mildly abusing their authority in only their best interests.

Obvious question - have you talked to your neighbors about it? You work from home, this is obviously disruptive, etc.

Presuming that you already have (or if they don't seem to care) I'd probably talk to the HOA. Unfortunately, no laws or ordinances are being broken - exemptions to the noise ordinances are carved out for lawn care (/eyeroll) - but it might be useful to have a complaint on record anyway. Who knows, they'd at least have some sort of mediation available, at least, to prevent this from rising to the levels of neighborhood disputes (one would hope).

Honestly, they really need to do something about the noise levels of landscaping equipment. My neighbors a few houses down have a crew that (thankfully) is there once a week, but despite being 300+ ft away, you'd think they were right outside my bedroom window. Not fantastic when you suffer from migraines. Occasionally there's a county crew on the paths nearby, and they're even worse. If the equipment is so loud the user has to wear protective headphones, maybe, just maybe, it's too loud for anyone nearby.
