I was just on a thread about HOA banning vegtable gardens on another forum. A lot of these HOAs are staffed by a bunch of busy bodies who have no legal or real estate backgrounds. They just seem to make it up as they go along. To be fair, many are volunteer positions. Still, there must be a legal limit to the amount of property rights an HOA can simply take away for "the greater good."
Growing your own food these days is very "in" as well as needed for many, given the economy. I would love to see these types of rules challenged and overturned.
