They apply to the entire incorporated city or county, not to neighborhoods or subdivisions. And I guarantee there is no rule in any non-HOA community anywhere in the US that would forbid a Tigger flag.

I had a relative who lived in a development that wouldn't sell to Black people; the "authority" dissolved as soon as the initial sale of the last house was complete, roughly 1940. This woman's HOA / authority may not even exist.

I've seen some fake stuff like this meant to get views, but there is always something make it seem off. I've also seen lots of videos of hostile neighbors, and this totally seems to fit perfectly in with those.

that complained loudly all morning. Nothing was wrong with it, it was just complaining. The girl I was working with finally said, "I think that one wants to speak to the manager." I said, "I guess her name will have to be Karen, then." Unfortunately it turned out that it was a teenaged male kitty. Finally my fellow worker went by his kennel and said, "You're fed, your litter box is clean, and I am the manager. Now shut up!" Amazingly, he did.

I would call my children to the door and tell them that this lady doesn't like their Tigger flag wan wants it to come down. In fact, evil minded person that I am, I would set the kids up for it so they went into meltdown hysterics about not being able to have their Tigger flag up just because this woman "don't like it."

Let's see how mean this woman is prepared to be in the face of little children distraught over losing their Pooh character flag. That would be a fun video to see.

Given the volatile world we live in, that was the wise thing to do. No need to poke at a snake. I know many would feel the need to put that old hag in her place but having two people screaming or arguing with each other won’t help resolve it. She is just an old busybody. Since she expressed her opinion, maybe she’ll cool her jets. But at least the homeowner took the high ground.

Reminds me of friends from Turkey and their saying that homes should be chosen for the neighbors.

This young woman handled it well and like a civilized grownup. It could have been a handy opportunity to start building a hopefully friendly relationship by inviting her to get better acquainted over coffee or some such on the porch.

Btw, if that woman was my new neighbor and objected to a flag that was nothing to me, I'd probably have my kids choose a place for it in the back yard. Little enough to do, while I waited to see what we had to deal with.
