In the long run, that would be the wisest thing to do from a personal preservation and having a peaceful life stand point. Fighting a drawn out court battle is probably harder and less pleasant than jonesing for a smoke really really really bad, but they would endorse the HOA's ridiculous actions. From the article though it sounds like they are out of funds and steam anyhow.
