HOA board members. A special group of people. Some are cautious and sensible, but many have felt their first feel of power coursing thru their veins. This is a very dangerous attitude, much like the brown shirts of 1930's Germany. They are considered dangerous and may move up into local politics. Now that is really scary.
Keep your grass cut - OK
No cars parked on the street at night- OK
No cutting of trees (over 6") without approval- OK
No basket goals without approval - OK
Approve color change when repainting - OK
Rules for pool tennis and common areas - OK
Other than that - SHUT UP.
