I used to back the rules of the HOA on a lot of these but if this old guy wants to fly his flags...FUHOA! Rewrite the rules! Give the guy special dispensation. I’m sick of these a%%wipes and their US flag rules. Now, more than ever! Let her wave!
....then he can do so by mounting it to the front of the house as the HOA rules allow.
That's what I've done......
