Exactly! Others should not be able to make choices regarding land I own! - They can make all the choices they want with land they own......if they want all the land around them to be a certain way....then buy that land....and "lease" it to others.
But when one buys and owns land in this Country it should be theirs...and no Gov't do-gooder should be telling others how to live on that property (assuming rational behavior here...and not trying to go down a middle school path of suggesting all sorts of obvious illicit actions).
You can't buy the land unless you sign agreement to the HOA's regs, if you sign the agreement with no intention of abiding by them, you comitted fraud, and you WILL lose your property.
Your choice was made at the time that you decided to purchase property regulated by prevailing laws.
You can't chose to disregard prevailing laws.
