The committee doesn't have the right to come up and tell you can't have this and that... but if it is already in the bi laws then it needs to be removed. Then actually the item really doesn't need to be moved until the HOA is going to sue.
Most subdivisions / neighborhoods that have HOA is not your typical run of the muck houses. These houses are nice and the yards are nice. People that move into the subdivisions already know and have read the HOA conventants. These people want something nice and they want it to stay that way. These nicer neighborhood and houses basically weeds out the white trash people (junk yard kings) because they can't afford the house anyways.
