Because it's written into the neighborhood coventants/bylaws that you sign before you purchase the place.

That way if you don't agree...you don't move in.

I live in a condo with an HOA...they generally suck and are out to get money from homeowners. When I lived in MI, they told me I had to park my motorcycle off property unless I wanted to change the "bi-laws". When I asked how do I change ur "bi-laws", their answer was pay 5,000 bucks it can be changed. lol

Turned out the homo president was pulling money from the homeowners dues for other shit.

Manufactured outrage.

He placed a flagpole on land he does not own. It is a condo. He signed a contract when he moved in. He has no right to the land.

Now if he put it on his house and they bitched, he would have my sympathies.

Condo/HOAs suck the dirty goats ass.

I have to agree with this - it sucks that they won't allow it (and IMO they are dumb for not allowing it) but he did move in to a place with a HOA...

If it's in the contract then that's the legal leg to stand on. If not, then it sucks to be them.

What I'm saying is, how can they possibly have jurisdiction? How is it legal? It's like another level of governance.

If they own the land it's private property and they have that right.

Do you allow someone to build something on your front lawn without your permission? If they did, you'd probably remove it, right? And you'd be within your rights as the land owner.

It's the flagpole...not the flag and it's their property...pretty simple.

Now we're getting somewhere.

When you live in a HOA it's not your property? I understand you technically never own property. But, in a HOA there are how many "owners"? You,the hoa, the city, the state, then the feds?

Yeah...... lay the flag out on the ground? no boy scout or war veteran would dishonor the flag that way. I just cant see a man that probably grew up saluting as the flag is raised daily doing that.
