WTVC NewsChannel 9 :: News - Top Stories - Utah Homeowner Asked To Remove US Navy Flag From Home: (KUTV) A homeowners' association in Lehi is facing backlash online after sending a letter to a resident and telling her to remove a U.S. Navy flag displayed in her front yard.
Lucia Sandoval says she put the flag up to remember her husband, who is currently deployed with the U.S Navy. But shortly after the flag went up, she received a notice stating it was out of conformity with neighborhood standards.
"In a recent review of the community, it was brought to our attention that you may not be aware of one or more of the rules for the community," the letter from the HOA reads. "Your front yard had a flag displayed not in accordance with the accepted standards. Please remove the flag ASAP."
In the letter, the HOA cites community guidelines, which read, "Flags and flagpoles shall be uniformly placed and consistent in size and shape and shall not interfere with on site utilities."
Sandoval says she didn't understand how her flag violated any of those policies and is refusing to take it down.

The headline
"Utah Homeowner Asked..."
should read
"Utah Homeowner Ordered..."
because if a "request" is backed by very real threats of fines, liens, and foreclosure, then the H.O.A. corporation is not really "asking".
It's like when the local mob boss sends his goons to your business, "asking" you if you want to buy "insurance".
