Texas homeowner paints house black with HOA approval, later ordered to repaint by HOA president.

A Texas homeowner, known as MoPanic on Reddit, painted his house black after receiving approval from his HOA. Despite this, the HOA president later demanded he repaint it. MoPanic, who previously won a lawsuit against the HOA, argues that such associations overreach by exerting control beyond property lines. A 2023 survey shows 61% of Americans prefer neighborhoods without HOAs, particularly opposing regulations on exterior home aesthetics.
