HOA declares war on old lady with BLM sign
HOAs in the USA are declaring war on home owners who don't fit the "values" of the neighbourhood.
This week In Olympia, Washington, Shirley Pavao is facing fines from her homeowners association for displaying a Black Lives Matter sign… inside her home. She had previously hung the sign in her front window which prompted the HOA board to establish rules against such things. (Other neighbors reportedly had Trump and "thin blue line" signage visible but it was Pavao's sign that ostensibly led to the new policy.)

In another case back in 2020 in Glendale Arizona Melanie Boyle hung a hand-painted Black Lives Matter sign on her home in July to show her support for the movement and its demands for justice.

In the USA, HOAs have the power to dictate which signs and flags can be displayed in homeowners’ yards and on their houses, a power backed up by federal, state and local laws.
HOA also cited homeowners for hanging rainbow flag to celebrate diversity in the same neighborhood
Boyle wasn’t having it. One street down from hers, the 36-year-old physician said, are six houses displaying Trump 2020 flags. If those are allowed, she thought, so should her cardboard sign.
HOAs are now yet another front in the "war on woke" being waged by conservative republicans
Very happy to be living in a house with no HOA.
But, seriously, the rule has to be all-inclusive, not selective, ie "no political signage." Or, as my former HOA had it: no signage or flags of any type what-so-ever outside of the single American flag they would sometimes fly on the clubhouse flagpole. That was the only one allowed. Period.

It would seem that certain HOAs (perhaps in red states) are using their power to bully individual home owners. The case of the old lady, it was reaching the height of incredulity when the HOA were invading the privacy of her home, I am wondering if this is even unconstitutional?
