This resident of an HOA neighborhood decided that the injustice he needed to fight was his right to plant sunflowers. We all have a purpose in life, and sometimes that purpose announces itself in the most unexpected ways. You might think your purpose is to fight for world peace, until your HOA demands that you get rid of the sunflowers you planted and then your true life goals come into focus.
The HOA in question insisted that according to the resident's contract, he was forbidden to plant sunflowers. The resident went so far as to hire a lawyer to go through his extensive contract to confirm this detail. Unfortunately, the lawyer did find the clause that forbade him from planting sunflowers among many other types of plants and flowers. However, the lawyer realized that whoever drew up this contract for the HOA did them dirty. Essentially, the choice to list out specific types of forbidden plants and flowers meant that anything not on the list was fair game. He explained this to the resident, who took it upon himself to exploit this newfound loophole. In the end, he got his sunflowers but not after a long back-and-forth with the HOA about their so-called strict policies.
