People can say anything. That same guy coulda told you in America you aren't supposed to wear clothes and have to shake people's hands any time they fart....doesn't make it remotely true.
If their HOA doesn't even allow flags, I doubt they'd accept painting like that on the house either. You'd be spending a lot of time and money to paint it, only to be sued and have to spend more time and money to repaint it to a normal color anyway.
And yes, they would win that lawsuit. You sign into an agreement that you will do certain things when you buy a house in an HOA (keep your yard mowed and maintained, no outlandish yard ornaments, etc.) and if you didn't want to abide by those things, you shouldn't have signed that agreement and bought that house.
So that got me thinking if there was a god what if it was a dog that will be pretty awesome.
