“So, you think it should be illegal for a private property owner to take a piece of land, subdivide it, and put a prohibition on flagpoles, even if there is a demand out there by people willing to pay a premium not to have to look at an oddball flag pole, or for some other reason?”

Yes, sure it ought to be legal. Just not in America.

That would be like asking, is it legal to subdivide property and sell it to people insisting that the constitution has no legal force over your property.

Not at all. You can’t prevent display of the flag, only the manner.

And what’s wrong with Americans agreeing to live together in small communities by their selected rules, without trying to governmentally impose those rules on outsiders?
