what- the HOA folks are worried they'd see your PV panels instead of a shingled roof for the .4 seconds they see it at all while they're parking in thier driveways?

HOA should be requiring solar instead of banning it.

I disagree. That’s a huge cost to force on people.

No one is forcing you to buy a home in an HOA that requires solar.

Could easily be in an HOA that adds the requirement though.

I do have sympathy for people that vote NO on large capital expense assessments because its expensive for them and then have to come up with the money anyways.

I love how you used the entire argument against HOAs to argue against HOAs, yet still got downvoted.

I appreciated the irony.

I don't live in an HOA but my home's value went up $150k over the last couple years for absolutely nothing. It would be cool if a tiny portion of that increase was at least due to something like solar panels being installed.

Parking in the driveway is also banned in many HOAs.

tell me you're exaggerating? sounds like fucking hell on earth to me.
