Wow...this thread has gone way off the rails. The original OP, W4MSL, was posting an example that he was successful in getting an antenna accommodation from his HOA. That's all, just an example, not to say that other HOA's will follow suit. But it does happen.

IMO, suffice it to say that NOT ALL HOA's are inflexible when taking antenna requests. You can't put a blanket statement on the many thousands of HOAs' practices around the Country. Trying to find out which ones will or won't grant permission, or how many hams are actually affected by restrictions is virtually impossible. Result, if your life priority is having large, visible antennas, seek living arrangements elsewhere. If you decide on an HOA community, read and understand the CC&R's before you buy. If they state no antennas permitted, and the HOA backs them up to a tee, you WILL lose a court battle. Check with the HOA board of directors to see if they are flexible for reasonable sized antennas, and then make your decision. The choice is yours.

A constructive and objective post. Maybe some others will follow your example but past experience doesn't bode well for that happening.

Clearly, some HOAs (we dont know how many) are flexible while some (also an unknown quantity) do not. And equally clearly, the same few characters will argue about that too.

K1VSK  said: "Clearly some HOAs (we dont know how many) are flexible while some (also an unknown quantity) do not."

But setting aside the HOA Apologists, Fan Boys, and other Lap Dog Types: The Upshot and Reality is:

Clearly, SOME HOAs (we dont know how many) are flexible while MOST (also an unknown quantity) ARE NOT.

And so it remains:
100% of the hams in HOAs who are denied antennas are 100% unable to erect said antennas, and REMOVING THE HOA MAN FROM THE EQUATION BY THE RULE OF LAW is sorely needed, indeed.

Sometimes I wonder if there is something wrong with you - for example, how do you know "most" are not?

Obviously, you have no clue yet make such an absurd claim that it seems you have some compelling need to criticize others characteristic of a dysfunctional personality anomaly which typically creates a need to feed some internal void, e.g. ego, self-esteem, superiority, etc... which compels you to criticize others.  Has your family ever expressed concern?
