Actually I was thinking the same about you. Our forebears would have FLIPPED if someone tried this 1980s yuppy poodle nonsense on them!
no, our forebearers would be appalled that you don’t realize the freedoms they established DO NOT IMPACT HOAs......you only are under the rules of an HOA if YOU CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZE TO BE. Just like a bowling league, a work out gym, or a place of employment. If you don’t like it, don’t DO IT.
Therefore, it is not an issue of freedom.
