I read the entire article. I remember a similar issue with someone in a planned community in the East Bay Area (east of San Francisco). During one of the many draughts in California, one woman removed her front lawn and planted a low water garden. Her HOA went crazy. I believe she ultimately prevailed, but she went through a great deal of hassle.

On one hand, I can understand the HOA not wanting front yards to become trashy and diminish the value of homes in the area, but this is absurd.
