Of course I know. I didn't say anything to the contrary.

"People who have done their due diligence know about the CC&Rs and
their stipulations before they buy into a community with a homeowners
association. Complying with the rules is part of the decision making
process to buy a home in that community or not. *For you*, it's part
of *your* decision process to stay or leave."

What part of the *for you* sentence didn't you understand? You
inherited a house; and I'm pretty sure your parents decided you can do
with it what you want, because there were no stipulations in the will
telling you what you can or can't do with it. So, you have choices.
You can stay, pay up and abide by the rules or you can sell and move
elsewhere. The choice is yours; you're a big girl and those are the
HOA rules.. You're choosing to stay; so pay up and abide by their
rules.
