I would send them an unsigned check written in my own fecal matter.

Fly a rainbow flag and the EXACT same peevish held will cower... or high five.

I assume he was not forced at gunpoint to live there.

Rules are rules——you don’t like them go elsewhere.

Well, if he was flying a gay flag. no one would say a thing.
Or one of those Obama flags...Or a marijuana flag.....

Hate to agree with the HOA on this but you’re only supposed to fly the current flag.

HOAs are a pox, but if you don't want to be under the thumb of an HOA, don't purchase a home subject to an HOA.

It's not rocket surgery.

I do not and will not live in a covenant controlled community. That said, when David Renner purchased his townhouse, he was given a copy of the CCRs from the HOA. In fact he had to sign off on them per his real estate contract. In my opinion, since he is not displaying the current American flag, but a replica of a much older flag, he does not have a leg to stand on. Which may be why he went to the local TV news. He wants to try this case in the court of public opinion rather than a court of law.

I really have little sympathy for people that either do not read or try to ignore contracts after they agree, in writing to the terms. And that is what CCRs are, a contract amongst the homeowners in the community. The proper way to change them is to bring up the changes at the HOA meetings and VOTE on them. Just like changing laws. Only easier.

GOOD REASON to stay away from those communities. They are run by NAZIs.

[Christie at the beach]

One has to read the rules in any homeowner’s association.

When I relocated to Florida for our work, it was amazing to see all of these strict rules in these HOAs here. Some of the rules are overreaching personal freedoms.

I’m glad I don’t live under the iron fist of an HOA. As an American, I don’t appreciate other people telling me what I can and can’t do.
