If they knock on your door you can tell them they need to visit their optician.

Re: The Joy of HOA
Are there enough expats to force a petition to amend the bylaws?
What about all those stinkin seasonal flags that people hang up? I didn't read your HOA covenants, are only country flags banned?
I guess things could get interesting if one person starts flying the Israeli flag and another an Arabic country's flag........

You're lucky -- the list of allies in Iraq is impressively short.

Were these HOA rules not made available to you prior to closing, or are they new covenants just voted on?

Say you need to know which ones are okay and which ones are not or else you cannot follow the restriction.
If they are stupid enough to give an offensive list, sit back and smile as the former residents and descendants of ancestors who were from that country start burning the HOA flag.

Out of interest, as long as you're not flying the American flag as well, it's bollocks.
