So, these groups of neighbors spend all of their time telling homeowners what they can put in their yards instead of lobbying their local government. Whoever accomplished that coup must be very proud of themselves.
HOAs can be ridiculous. A colleague was forced to repaint his dining room because the red walls could be seen from the street when the curtains were drawn.
That makes no sense. HOAs have no say over home interior, only exterior property and maintenance.
I hope your colleague took them to court over this.
Many things are accomplished extrajudicially when it comes to HOAs. They'll make threats, hire lawyers, etc, and generally make the case its worth the time and/or money being compliant, even if they don't have any basis. They know, that's not the point.
I personally love when it backfires and HOAs bankrupt themselves with lawyer fees.
