Stupid people who don't read the HOA agreement they signed, and then whine after the fact that some things aren't allowed - I have no sympathy for them (and for the record, would never live anyplace that had an HOA).

That said, if its not in the agreement you signed, or you live someplace without an HOA, I support peoples right do hang their laundry out to dry - shouldn't even be a question of being allowed or not.

I don't understand how "HOAs" are legal.

You agree to the contract. As simple as that.

>>s1arti+Ng
Why would anyone do that, then?

>>Gordon+nj
Presumably the majority of the people living there like the rules, otherwise they wouldn't have been voted into the rule book. Democracy in action.

The article says not:

>the no-hanging rules are usually included by the communities’ developers

It may be hard / too much hassle / etc. to vote them out.

>>gpvos+EG
You could say the same about any democratic action - if people are too lazy to vote then yeah they won’t get what they want.
