Faces distorted to give these people a little privacy, even though they were publicly protesting.
Encountered a couple of HOA protesters at the entrance to a fairly high-end Suburb in south Denver recently, and by high-end Suburb I mean it's a place I couldn't afford to buy a house.
HOA's can be a pain in the patookas, what with the various (and sometimes incredibly arbitrary) restrictions against such everyday, mundane activities such as washing your car or changing your oil in your driveway, using a clothesline to dry your clothes, painting your house with an unapproved shade of grey, or mowing your lawn without a shirt on.
Those are all real things that people I know who live in HOA regulated communities have told me they have been penalized by their HOAs with steep fines for doing.
Which is why I do not live in an HOA controlled community. The city I live in already has a boatload of ordinances in place regarding what is and is not allowed / acceptable in every neighborhood, so why would anyone want to move into a subdivision that is being run by narcissistic control freaks who want even more regulations?
Seriously, if anyone in my neighborhood doesn't like the shade of empire yellow that I painted my house, they are free to not ever look at it - never, ever.
