When HOA's go too far?

Check out THIS article about how one neighborhood--despite state law--has decided to ban the display of the American flag in a front yard. Whose yard? A retired US Navy communications officer. Here are some pictures with captions relating to the story.

Every other surrounding neighborhood allows flags to be displayed. The homeowner's assocation has no comment -- other than to file a lawsuit agains the vet.

Quote of the day:

"Each sub-association has its own set of documents and they can differ. The rationale for that [restriction] only exists within the minds of the folks that are doing it. I can't sit here and tell you why," says Jim Hart, property manager for 1,500 properties in the area, including the one in question.

SO--what do you think?
