We’ve lived in a non gated community in EDH for over 16 years, and honestly, I think some simple HOA rules would have benefited our neighborhood. Mostly regarding noise in the late evenings, and cars parked bumper to bumper in front of homes on our very narrow roads. I understand that the choice of house color, and plantings are very individual issues, but if the HOA rules are disclosed prior to to the purchase, and agreed to, it seems that odd to argue the point later. It does seem petty to limit neighbors’ ability to post notices regarding lost pets.
