I live in an HOA community. They forbid any lawn signs of any type. And I’m glad they do.
I live in Sun City, TX. They allow one sign per candidate starting 90 days before the election. And most of the Beto signs were up that very first day. There are probably more Beto signs than Cruz signs, but that is highly misleading, because maybe 5-10 percent of the yards have signs, and the rest just don’t want to deal with obnoxious Dem neighbors - but will vote GOP when the time rolls around.
I believe our HOA does the same - forbids any lawn signs.
Actually the HOA can not forbid that. Freedom of expression.
Our HOA forbids political signs, but it hasn’t stopped several from posting campaign signs for the Dem congress candidate.
