They just need to switch from tobacco to marijuana.
Then they would be hailed as patriots for standing up against the man/system.
Coming up next: perfume. You will not be able to wear it in public, then it will be forbidden in your own home.
They should take a long vacation after filling their unit with a ton of dead fish. See if their neighbors prefer that smell.
This is an interesting ruling, it boils my blood but I'm interested in hearing how others feel about this ruling against personal freedom and property rights in favor of "the common good"."
The common good is being abused everywhere, and there will be a backlash, IMO.
What's next? Declaring what you can eat so that your fart smells don't permeate the common areas??? BEANO for all, mandated and unfunded....
I am so sick of the Mommy laws, and I don't smoke nor drink. Personal freedoms are being taken everywhere. For the children: I want to strangle all the little creeps.
They had the personal freedom not to buy into an HOA property and they had the personal freedom not to voluntarily cede part of their property rights to the HOA.
They have zero grounds for complaining.
Who buys a home, the biggest investment of their lives, and doesn't read the fine print?
Sell the condo and find a house! Byers market...
I have lived in a lot of apartments and have never noticed a problem. Maybe they need to look at the structure of the building. Either way, if it was allowed when they moved in , they shouldn't have to stop IMO.
HOAs are inherent compromises of personal liberty, and are to be avoided at all costs.
And soon after that ... underwear?? Sorry - bad joke! ;-)
Insanity.
How about curry in a townhome, can people cook it 24/7?

Good point:
On the Nov Nevada ballot we had 3 items:
Anti-smoking (1)
Legalizing MJ (2)
I couldn't understand how it was expected to work: If they legalized the MJ and passed the laws to stop smoking everywhere, then how was the MJ supposed to be used?
Can anyone explain this??
Colleen and Rodger Sauve, both smokers, filed a lawsuit in March after their condominium association amended its bylaws last December to prohibit smoking.
Or smoked fish ???
The psychotic antis are mentally ill and cannot be appeased. They must be stood up to and forced to back down. No more being "polite." Politeness has gotten us to this point.
When you live in multiunit houses, you accept that you can't do things that infringe on the rights of your neighbors, whether that is playing loud music, remodeling the interior walls, cooking indian food, running a business out of the home, smoking, etc. They need to live in a detached house.
