Condo resident reports "theatrical" HOA to fire marshal, after blocking essential accessibility ramp with holiday decor, gets the display removed causing backlash from the board: 'Accessibility is not optional or decorative'

Is HOA our best friend or worst enemy? Well, in this case, it's too busy hanging up Christmas decorations to have time to be either…So when this condo owner notices their building's entrance to the wheelchair ramp is blocked off by an obnoxiously shiny Christmas structure, he is no longer feeling in the Christmas spirit! So he decides to file a complaint against the HOA to the fire marshal for 'potential safety risk.' The decorations were taken down the following week, and let's just say, this owner was no longer the HOA's most beloved resident! 

They preach, 'Community Spirit!', whilst happily making their disabled home-owners/renters feel isolated from the rest of the community. There is plenty of space to hang bell decorations and plant pine trees. So while doing so, try to avoid putting stress or strain on other equally important residents, so everyone can enjoy the holidays together. Even if that means getting a few pouting faces from members of the board.
