Holy colliding political narratives!

"The Avalon Village Community Association, which sent the letter, takes a strict interpretation of the state statute that allows Arizonans the right to fly a variety of flags  the Stars and Stripes, the state flag, flags representing Indian nations as well as the official flags of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. ...
The Arizona law, says the homeowners’ association butting heads with Mr. McDonel, does not give residents authorization to fly anything else on their properties. That means no pennants bearing sports team logos, no Jolly Rogers, no rainbow banners celebrating gay pride and no historic flags showing a coiled rattlesnake bearing its fangs."
Some of these homeowners' associations seem power-hungry to me. I understand the merit of certain standards to protect property values, but I think there's a distinct line between keeping the guy from putting his car up on cinder blocks in the front yard and forcing his conformity to an approved image.
