Every "decoration" could be considered a "sign" under the applied "standard."

Yep

There's an obvious solution.

See the three windows behind the sign.

Those windows need shades. And on the shades, inside the house, put any darned letters you choose to remind the world of whatever. In other words, take the Scarlet Letter to a whole new level

To the people who don’t wish to live in an HOA: really these only apply to middle to upper middle class income families. They are a way to protect your home values on the off chance some redneck Billy Bob lucks into a house in your neighborhood and leaves his truck parked in his grass on front yard; trash cans turned over in front of the house, etc. HOA have rules for a reason.

If you don’t like living in a neighborhood that keeps the value of your house from decreasing, stay away. The rest of us would like to sell our house for more than we paid for it.

My property values wouldn't change regardless of what you put in your yard.

HOA's are more about petty people doing petty things than they are about actual property values.

We’ve lived in a sub-division with a HOA since 2006 and have had zero issues. In fact all they do as far as I can tell is coordinate our yearly neighborhood summer party and maintain the common areas like the clubhouse and entrance gate.
