Legally you are correct. > Don't like HOAs? Don't live in an HOA community. That's becoming harder and harder. Currently 68 million Americans live in some sort of community association [1] and that's constantly rising. These are essentially hyper-local governments. I can "willingly move" between cities and states and yet city and state governments also can not infringe upon constitutional rights (though they certainly sometimes try). It doesn't seem like a big stretch to hold HOAs to the same standard when you're talking about putting restrictions on something as fundamental as someone's residence. That isn't to say they aren't allowed to make any rules governing the community. 1. https://www.caionline.org/AboutCommunityAssociations/Pages/StatisticalInformation.aspx https://www.caionline.org/AboutCommunityAssociations/Pages/S...
