Ridiculous garbage...and many just ignore the HOA until something effects them...and then they actually read it.
Many towns have the same “ridiculous” rules you’re cutting for an HOA.
I grew up with clotheslines, but my current town doesn’t allow them. Not can you leave cars parked on your lawn, etc.
I have mixed feelings. You want to do what you want with your property. Then again you want your town to have some standards
