You know what being a 90 year old war vet buys him? Being gently reminded that the property is in fact not his and that he has a contractual obligation, prior to having him served and reamed in court.

Absolutely. He should be treated with respect but, and here's the point that some people don't seem to be getting, HELD TO HIS OBLIGATIONS.

Well here's a twist.

The basic principle still applies...flagpoles are not approved by the HOA BUT it is NOT a condo/townhome and it IS his property.

It is a single family home and it is in HIS front yard.

It is NOT a common area as previously thought.

The HOA is still within their rights here...bottom line.

I do wish they would just let him keep his flagpole.

I served 4 1/2 years with the US Marine Corps and I do love the flag and my country BUT when you move in to a neighborhood governed by an HOA...you are obligated to follow the rules.

That is a twist.

Like you said the HOA is still in the right, legally.

It was more fun arguing with the Canucks and Kaneman over their rabble rabble on someone else's land.

How could the HOA be so stupid. Did they not think word of this would spread?

Their director is probably a 64-year old fat woman owning 10 cats and driving an Avalon (Camry) or Lexus ES (still a Camry).

I agree.

I also agree that it should not have ever come to this. It seems as though the HOA didn't want to THINK in their process - they applied their rules with black and white lines.
