Ok, good law, bout time.

Now

The BORDERS????

This is a tempest in a tea pot compared to our REAL problems.

Mixed feelings. I'd hate to see a restrictive HOA barring a "normal" flag display, particularly on holidays, but imagine a "neighbor from hell" who decides to hang a circus-tent-sized flag from the balconies on a daily basis ... when you're trying to sell your next-door condo ...

While I find the idea of Homeowners' associations putting such restrictions on homeowners to be repugnant, I also find no language in the Constitution that grants Congress the power to make a law such as this.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Another bad law meant to save people from their own poor decisions. I feel little pity for those unwise enough to willingly abandon their individuality to uptight, hyper-reactive HOAs. Why people continue to invite such authority into their lives is beyond me.

How HOAs treat flag-wavers is simply none of the Govt's business.

Here's a big raspberry for all of you that love HOAs.

FYI: The federal government is given authority to regulate HOAs in Article CLXVII of the New International Expanded Version of the Constitution.

i dont see how a law such as this is necessary. government should not be interfering in private homeowner business.

It was passed unanimously by both the House and the Senate.

Amazing! Not even Baghdad Jim McDermott voted against it?

[mysterio]

Anything bad for the tyrants in the HOAs is good for America. This is a good law.

[NoCurrentFreeperByThatName]

AWESOME! Gotta love small government.

Wellll.....now I wonder when they'll address the fact that HOA's don't allow POLITICAL SIGNS.....in windows, yards, etc.....at least at our Condo complex......our HOA when we lived in a house DID allow signs for a very discreet period of time....

What does the bill say vs. what the news report says.
