Best answer is to someday move and vow to never live in an anti-freedom neighborhood controlled by an HOA again.

they are not open about their rules (try to be a prospective owner in an area and get a full copy of the rules).

That kind of uniformity is appalling

I've had my best luck in non-HOA neighborhoods where the price point and location are above what someone who wants to junk up a place would go for - the kind of neighborhood that is able to maintain itself on its own.

I haven't encountered many of those near the city

Not that it matters, but Did you ever consider a goal above garage door? I think those are allowed in my hoa rules.

Kinda funny this post was brought back up. As a follow up to the story, i put up the fixed bb goal, then i got on the HOA board myself and changed the rule to allow fixed goals in the neighborhood. Its been received really well by the neighborhood and all is well.
For the question that was brought up, technically if you are going to put in a slab in your backyard and put a bb goal up, you would likely need hoa approval...

Just FYI: do what you want but you take this attitude at my company and an increasing number of organizations (particularly the ones I consult with), you will be shown the door almost as quick as you will for dishonest acts. I know you're talking about different relationships between property owners and HOAs (which I pretty much despise anyway) and employer/employee and other subordinate relationships, but this saying needs to GO AWAY.
You DO NOT want people who report to you having this attitude. You don't want your kids to use it. You don't want those you have any real relationship with (business or personal) to use it. You certainly don't want your spouse to use it. Don't use it on others.
