Borrowed what exactly? It sounds like they were under financial pressure and nobody would have given them money.

Anyway, I think it's pretty crazy that he went to jail and I definitely do not like HOA's, but it's not like this guy was completely innocent. He was sent notices for months and simply ignored them. Financial hardship is not just an excuse to get out of everything... everyone can have "financial hardship". It sucks, but deal with it or at least create a solution.

The ideal solution, to me, seems that the HOA should pay to have it fixed as sort of a "loan" with some restrictions and guidelines. The yard gets fixed, neighbors are happy, grandpa isn't in jail, public resources are not wasted, and the HOA actually makes itself useful.
