If it is against the Constitution to burn a flag, isn’t it unconstitutional to ban its display?

...

This dispute is about the flagpole, not the flag. He can display the flag attached to the front of his house like everyone else.

*******************
A few clarifications. It’s not unconstitutional to ban others from displaying flags on property that you own. With this in mind, HOA’s should not be confused with condominiums, where the condo association owns common property that may include the area where the unit owner wants to put his flag. Moreover, even with HOA’s having no commonly owned property, the unit owners have to agree, before they move in, to the restrictions that may be imposed by the HOA. This is NOT communism.
