In my neighborhood, the gestapo HOA allowed the flag pole front or back. At first they were intolerant but since we are in war plus me being a vet and other homeowners we went to the meeting and kinda bully the officers. Sometimes you have to implement scary tactics to these sissy libtards.
Our POA board consists of seven people.
President - Retired Navy staff-NCO
Secretary - Army Vet
One At-Large - Retired Army officer
Two At-Large - Air Force (Officer) and Marine (NCO) vets.
One Junior-At-Large: Army vet
Our last Junior-At-Large member is a military widow (Army).
Flags are NOT a problem for us. As a matter of fact, at our last meeting, one of the biggest complaints was that a recent storm had torn down our community flags and we had failed to replace them before Veteran’s Day and the Marine Corps birthday - the next day they were fixed!
Of course, the median age for our residents is about 67, so we have LOTS of military vets and retirees. A really laid back community.
As I was saying, our POA has been able to cut our monthly dues, because they hired a lawyer to go after the 200+ deadbeats that had not been paying their fair share! In March 2008, our POA had over $650K in past due dues! We are now down to only $240K in past due dues. That influx of money allowed the POA to cut back on the dues!
