You never know, you would have to investigate each person on the committee for your area. Its easy to assume not, but you know what they say about people who assume

SEC. 3. RIGHT TO DISPLAY THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES.

A condominium association, cooperative association, or residential real estate management association may not adopt or enforce any policy, or enter into any agreement, that would restrict or prevent a member of the association from displaying the flag of the United States on residential property within the association with respect to which such member has a separate ownership interest or a right to exclusive possession or use.
PLUS

SEC. 4. LIMITATIONS.

Nothing in this Act shall be considered to permit any display or use that is inconsistent with--

(2) any reasonable restriction pertaining to the time, place, or manner of displaying the flag of the United States necessary to protect a substantial interest of the condominium association, cooperative association, or residential real estate management association.
Confuses me. It's like "They can't restrict that...but they really can"

"Of great concern is the fact that several court decisions have held that private actors may restrict individuals' exercise of their rights on private property. A recent decision in New Jersey held that private residential communities had the right to place reasonable limitations on political speech, and that in doing so, they were not acting as municipal governments.[17] With few exceptions, courts have held private 'actors' are not subject to constitutional limitations"

So they have quite a bit of power, also your kind of stretching it with murder when we are talking about property. Also there is a BOARD of members, each of those members are elected by people in the community. Essentially you reap what you sow.

I do live in a community with a HOA, and like I said before its fantastic. I've never had an issues, with neighbors or the HOA. Unlike most people who have posted in this thread who are on the outside looking in. Its easy to judge though so I understand.

Why are you people even arguing? Sure, it's fucked up, but the sad thing is an HOA really does have control of what you do with your property. Some go as detailed with what plants are able to planted on your front lawn. If your house doesn't have a fence, but you'd like one, you can't just put one up. There is paperwork to be done first and approvals to be made.

Obviously many of you have little to no experience with an HOA. It's not fun to live in an area with one if you're not one that likes to conform to the "norm."

quick slightly off topic question- does a homeowners association have to be created when the subdivision is built, or can one spring up around you and basically devour you?

I wouldn't be surprised if it that could happen.

I really wish I could know more about the people who think that the HOA isn't doing anything wrong. I bet this wouldn't be the only area were I would agree with them. I already know that applies to Sleepy lol.

I'm sure its possible that one could eventually come to an area you live in but I doubt it. Most of the time its in a new area to benefit the land owners, real estate agents, and the municipalities.

You're right. I know I can come off as a smart ass, but that's because I take these things seriously. I think this is 100% Un-American. You're entitled to your opinions just as I am, so I'm sorry get out of line.

Trust me your not the only one, my views can easily be abrasive to say the least. Hopefully something good comes of this and the veteran will be allowed to display his flag, I think we can all agree that would be the best outcome.

And America's loss of common sense continues...

Aside from the fact that I think HOA are a complete waste and are nothing more than an outlet for people who like to dictate to other people how they should live their lives, the much more pressing question is WHO THE FUCK WOULD EVEN PUSH THIS ISSUE?

I cannot fathom how anybody that has even a remote grasp of history and knows what it means to be a Medal of Honor recipient would take this guy to court.

Whatever. I hope Mr. Barfoot wins this case and the fools who decided to pursue litigation have the flag pole shoved up their asses.

Fuckin eh some people have too much time on their hands.

I salute you Mr. Barfoot!

i have a problem with it because... what's wrong with patriotism? especially something as simple as a flagpole? why would ANYONE in the US find an American flag offensive to the eye? it's not like it's spraypainted on the hood of his camaro he keeps parked in the front yard.
would these people have a problem with a service flag in a window or on a door?

Nothing is wrong with patriotism. No one is finding the flag offensive. As mentioned in the article flags are displayed on nearly all homes in the community, they're just the ones that folks display on their porches. They wouldn't have an issue with the flag, just might have an issue with its placement.

The issue is it's too much of a difference from the "norm." The norm being, no flag poles on other homes. If it stands out to much HOA will most likely want it removed. As I mentioned, some HOA are run by folks who are just in it to be total nazis about everything. I wasn't bullshiting about the plant and fence issues either. Friends of mine have had to remove brand new plants from their yard because they weren't approved by their HOA. Fences taken down because they were to tall and the owner didn't get approval beforehand. Tire swings not allowed. It's a very long list to what an HOA won't approve and have removed. Some HOA even won't allow dogs. Not certain breeds, I'm talking any dog. When you move into a community with HOA you pretty much tend to your home by a set standard. It's very similar to living in an apartment complex.

The way I could understand it from the HOA's perspective is that when not in use the pole is just a pole and it's unsightly just to have a pole in your yard. I don't agree with it, but it's how it is when you live in an area with an HOA. It's nothing against the veteran or patriotism. They are requesting the pole to be removed, not the flag.

Most of you are simply over analyzing and digging way to deep into what's really only a scratch.

Thankfully people have begun to use common sense! This comment basically sums it up, something I was trying to get across earlier but I think your wording is better!

so you dont mind being told how to live in ur own property...kew...do your thing...personally if i dropped cash to own my home id like to live in it how i wouldnt WANT to live in it. Now dont get me wrong here and think id trash the place, no, but i wouldnt want to live in a place were everyone shares one opinion with no room for anything else...

best outcome would be to let him show his patriotism the way he wants to...simple...the way you come off in this arguement tells me ur the kinda person who wouldnt give your seat to an old lady, yeah she's got legs she can get her own, fuck courtesy right...no respect for those b4 you who im pretty sure accomplished more in there lives and hold higher values than you could understand...



but i guess risking your life for people youll never meet and watching friends families die, and hell even killing and risking hell and risking total damnation per his religion...oh well right...

To me this seems like an isolated incident and like I have said before its easy for people to judge when they no absolutely nothing about HOA's. My HOA is fantastic, we live in a fantastic community. Some are more stingy than others, mine is very simple basically limiting shutter colors / siding colors / roofing colors on the houses. Making for a much more appealing community. And if I ever decide to sell my property I will receive (most likely) more than I paid for it since people actually WANT to live here. Its a place I feel totally safe, especially in the near future for my family. They have no control over what color your furniture is, or whether you can drink wine or soda. All they do is make the exterior of the community the most pleasant thing possible. If you have ever lived next to neighbors who frankly don't give a shit about their property you will see how that diminishes the value of EVERYONES property in the area, guess what I will NEVER have that problem.

Your completely entitled to your opinion. Its easy for someone in your position to make claims about me. I am 100% sure this fine gentleman has done more than you and I combined. I hold pretty high values, one of which is following SIMPLE RULES, on the contrary you come across with some relatively low standards (thinking you know about me). I could be wrong but unless you know the guy you have no idea what he has gone through, why he received his MOH, where he even fought. My point being you have no idea also.

obviously they wouldnt control what goes inside ur home, yet there are some HOA who do complain about curtain colors? seriously cmon...

i personally like diversed homes, different colors different styles...especially in areas were people built there own dream home...

im not down to live in an area were everything outside has to have symmetry...its boring to me.

like i said if ur down for that way of living, so be it...

im not claiming anything, just my opinion of what you have personified to me in this thread about the ludicrous shit this poor man has to deal with...

remember your the one sayin for him to Move, the guy is 90, fought wars, and is a patriot of this country, really you think telling him to just move is a justifiable answer to this bullshit?

i personally have no issues with rules, rules that matter anyway... being told what color im allowed to have on my property, or how to display my american flag...nonsense...

if by low standards to you mean respecting and giving this gent one of the only pleasures he has left in his life by flying his flag up high...so be it...

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty on 23 May 1944, near Carano, Italy. With his platoon heavily engaged during an assault against forces well entrenched on commanding ground, 2d Lt. Barfoot (then Tech. Sgt.) moved off alone upon the enemy left flank. He crawled to the proximity of 1 machinegun nest and made a direct hit on it with a hand grenade, killing 2 and wounding 3 Germans. He continued along the German defense line to another machinegun emplacement, and with his tommygun killed 2 and captured 3 soldiers. Members of another enemy machinegun crew then abandoned their position and gave themselves up to Sgt. Barfoot. Leaving the prisoners for his support squad to pick up, he proceeded to mop up positions in the immediate area, capturing more prisoners and bringing his total count to 17. Later that day, after he had reorganized his men and consolidated the newly captured ground, the enemy launched a fierce armored counterattack directly at his platoon positions. Securing a bazooka, Sgt. Barfoot took up an exposed position directly in front of 3 advancing Mark VI tanks. From a distance of 75 yards his first shot destroyed the track of the leading tank, effectively disabling it, while the other 2 changed direction toward the flank. As the crew of the disabled tank dismounted, Sgt. Barfoot killed 3 of them with his tommygun. He continued onward into enemy terrain and destroyed a recently abandoned German fieldpiece with a demolition charge placed in the breech. While returning to his platoon position, Sgt. Barfoot, though greatly fatigued by his Herculean efforts, assisted 2 of his seriously wounded men 1,700 yards to a position of safety. Sgt. Barfoot's extraordinary heroism, demonstration of magnificent valor, and aggressive determination in the face of pointblank fire are a perpetual inspiration to his fellow soldiers
does that help you understand him a bit more? god knows it help me wish i could even come close to what hes done.

After enlisting in the Army from Carthage, Mississippi, in 1940 and completing his training, Barfoot served with the 1st Infantry Division in Louisiana and Puerto Rico. In December 1941, he was promoted to sergeant and re-assigned to the Headquarters Amphibious Force Atlantic Fleet in Quantico, Virginia, which he served with until it was deactivated in 1943. He next joined the 157th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division, and was sent to Europe.[2]
As part of the Italian Campaign, Barfoot participated in a series of amphibious landings: the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943, the invasion of mainland Italy at Salerno in September, and finally the landings at Anzio in late January 1944. His unit pushed inland from Anzio, and by May 1944 had reached the town of Carano. There they set up defensive positions and, for several weeks, Barfoot conducted patrols to scout the German lines. When his company was ordered to attack on the morning of May 23, Barfoot, now a technical sergeant, asked for permission to lead a squad. Because of the patrols he had conducted, he knew the layout of the terrain and the minefield which lay in front of the German position. He advanced alone through the minefield, following ditches and depressions, until he came within a few yards of a machine gun on the German flank. After destroying the gun with a hand grenade, he entered the German trench and advanced on a second machine gun, killing two soldiers and capturing three others. When he reached a third gun, the entire crew surrendered. After clearing the area, Barfoot had captured a total of seventeen German soldiers.[2]
When the Germans launched an armored counterattack later in the day, Barfoot disabled one tank with a bazooka, advanced into enemy-held territory, and destroyed an abandoned German artillery piece. He then returned to his own lines and helped two wounded soldiers from his squad to the rear.[2]
Barfoot was subsequently commissioned as a second lieutenant. His unit moved into France and by September was serving in the Rhone valley. It was there that Barfoot learned he would be awarded the Medal of Honor. He chose to have the presentation ceremony in the field, rather than in the United States, so that his soldiers could attend. He was formally presented with the medal on September 28, 1944, in Épinal, France, by Lieutenant General Alexander Patch.[2]
Barfoot reached the rank of colonel before retiring from the Army
