Exactly, this is one of clearest examples I know of where small, local government backfires. For example, my small town recently passed a law allowing all homes to have an accessory dwelling unit. Come to find out the only reason it was passed was because the state required it by law. But within my towns borders there's an HOA that doesn't have to allow them, since of course HOA's are a loophole to the law. I imagine more HOA's are going to start appearing.
