    You probably don’t understand why anyone would be against having black neighbors either, but that’s the original purpose of the HOA.

      In the very progressive Northern California town where I used to live, there were still restrictive covenants on deeds, forbidding sale of houses to Black people, Jews, Mexican-Americans and Portuguese. Now that the records are digitized, the town government is finally going back and stripping all that language out.

      It was only a decade ago that a town-wide ban on line-drying clothes was rescinded, too.
