> regulating the use of property, particularly common property
I don’t think anyone would argue with their regulation of common property; it’s their petty interference in private property that’s the rub.
- db48x 2y agoRemember that everyone disagrees about what is petty and what is not. Take the current article: some would argue that requiring a vehicle (such as the boat) to be parked in a place where it cannot be seen from the street is petty, and that the HOA is petty for having such a rule. Yet many many cities and towns across America have similar parking rules. They were put in place by a reasonably democratic process, so it must be that there is a fair amount of disagreement over whether they are petty or not. You have the same recourse in both cases: vote, join the local government, or move somewhere less petty.
