I have an opinion on HOA's if you want to hear it.

The HOA acts the very same as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in that THEY decided what you can and cannot do in your own home. In America? Not if I have anything to say about it. Don't feel bad though, my own son complains about the same thing. (He knows I feel he is an idiot for subjecting himself to communism and is fine with it.) In San Antonio? What would General Santa Anna think? You need to talk to Sam Houston about this.. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! lol! I concur with 3 hours like everyone above. But if you need to tow it out of the HOA Heaven you find yourself in, ADD a few hours.
