The biggest thing that lowers home value is a HOA.

Seems to me, HOA wields their power thru litigation. Comply or be
sued. Turn it around.

If solar pwr actually will save you money, sue the HOA on the grounds
of how much money you will lose by not converting to solar power.
IOW, sue based on how much $$$ the HOA is costing you!

Ridiculous suit that has no merit. When you buy a
home in a HOA community, you know and agree to
the HOA having control over certain aspects of what
you can do with your property. If you don't want that
arrangement, then you simply buy somewhere else.
If you do buy, then you are bound by the convenants
imposed and if they include control over what the
exterior looks like, then too bad, so sad, but you're
gonna lose.

Several years ago I read a report that somebody asked to see the HOA
rules for a subdivision in which he was thinking of buying a property
but was told that they were proprietary information and that he wouldn't
be allowed to see them until he had bought the property and become a member.

We've all heard that before; "we have to pass this law before we can see what
is in it".

In addition, HOA rules often outlaw "radio transmitting equipment,"
which logically means no cell phones, cordless phones, baby monitors,
wiFi, garage door openers, etc.

Which they have no jurisdiction over. Do you believe they have the power to
allow slavery, too?

Sorry my friend same rule that would be applied here is
"YOU HAVE PURCHASE AS IS" as man siad you most abied by community rule

Next time you post, lay off the booze.
