I lived in Wisconsin. From kindergarten to 5th grade I walked year around, it was only a few blocks. In 6th grade we moved, elementary school was a little over a mile away, so I rode my bike or walked, depending on weather. Junior High (7th, 8th, 9th grades) the school was closer to 2 miles away, so I rode my bike in spring and fall, winter and rainy days I took a city bus. High school was closer, so I walked all the time.
HOAs that say you can’t fly the flag are in violation of H.R.42, Freedom to Display the American Flag Act 0f 2005. A summary of the Act is “Public Law No: 109-243 (07/24/2006)Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 – States that a condominium association, cooperative association, or residential real estate management association may not adopt or enforce any policy, or enter into any agreement, that would restrict or prevent an association member from displaying the U.S. flag on residential property within the association with respect to which such member has a separate ownership interest or a right to exclusive possession or use.” I know you periodically read about people running into HOA rules that say you can’t fly the flag, but often in those articles you will also see that the displayer got a lawyer and won the fight.
Too much of anything can kill you.
