I don't understand your complaint. They park RVs and boats in their driveways and yards? Who cares? It's their property. Why do you care what they put on their own property? Who even has time to worry about their neighbor's lawn? They park on the streets? Unless you live on a private road, that's a municipal matter. Parking rules should be up to the city, not your HOA. Honestly it sounds like you are exactly who the top-level comment was talking about. You care more about restricting your neighbors than your own personal freedoms.

Those things tend to run down the value of the entire neighborhood.

  I never understood this. I bought my house to live in it, for decades, why would I care about value not rising as fast as it could?

>They park RVs and boats in their driveways and yards? Who cares? Indeed, I don't want broken down RVs and trucks that leak oils and fluids all over the place on the street, or on their lawn where it eventually ends up in the water table. It also makes the area look like an industrial area, not residential. >Why do you care what they put on their own property? I don't want symbols of oppression and racism flying around anywhere, and especially not in my neighborhood. >They park on the streets? Unless you live on a private road, that's a municipal matter. HOAs can also enforce this it's not simply a municipal matter. It makes the roads cluttered and more dangerous for pedestrians, bikes, etc. >Honestly it sounds like you are exactly who the top-level comment was talking about. You care more about restricting your neighbors than your own personal freedoms. Not at all, I just want some simple standards so where we live doesn't look like the city dump.
