No BVM in your yard
Anyone who would buy into any development with a homeowners association is nuts. Anyone who would do so contingent on promises that were not put in writing is a fool. What's this country coming to, when you can't place a 2-foot Virgin Mary in your own yard?
I hope the association board members get stuck with some overpriced property.

In that case, they can bury a statue of St. Joseph in their yard, to ensure it gets sold.
(At least, I think it's St. Joseph.)

I appreciate the irony, but it would go right past them, as the St. Joes are usually about 6" high and are buried upside down by your door until the house sells, so they wouldn't be out there "offending people." And when the house sells, you dig him up and give him an honored place on your mantel or wherever else you keep your tchachkes.
It didn't work for us. I guess it might have helped if we were Catholic. You'd think he'd have pity on a carpenter's son.
There's a Catholic bookstore in the town I grew up in named "St. Joseph's Power Tools". I like.
