I lived in an HOA that took their rules way too far. Here is an example - paraphrased so your head doesn't explode: "You can't have any wireless devices without written permission, except a garage door opener and TV remote."
Right. Nice try. I joked with neighbors that we should all send one letter to them on the same day. A letter for each cell phone, wifi router, satellite dish, bluetooth speaker, etc.
This was in an area where many people were on wireless ISPs, there were a handful of ham radio antennas, etc. I asked someone on the HOA board why they didn't update or remove the garbage about wireless devices. The answer - it would cost to much to update the documents, so they don't try to enforce it. It is still crazy that they ever put it in there.
This HOA says no solar, but now that it is popular they also ignoring that.
