35. The HOA is part of the agreement the homeowners

make when the community is formed. Subsequent people who move into the neighborhood sign forms agreeing to the HOA rules. The HOA is a democratically elected body whose function is to enforce the agreed-upon rules.

This ruling amounts to the governor saying, "No, you can't live the way you have democratically agreed you want to live."

I couldn't live according to the rules of many HOAs, so I wouldn't move into a neighborhood where I feel the rules are draconian. But I CERTAINLY wouldn't move into a neighborhood and say, "I don't like the rules you have democratically agreed upon, so you must change them for me, and you cannot live the way you have all agreed you want to live."

If a resident wants changes, there are democratic mechanisms built into every HOA agreement to change the board and change the rules or the way the rules are enforced.
