My guess is that the community is part of an HOA. The HOA probably decided to ban basketball poles on the right of way property and sent out notices to people instructing them to move their poles off of the right of way. After an extended period of time, the HOA moved the poles by force.

Although I do not agree with the action, the removal of the poles was probably legally authorized under terms of the HOA charter, which homeowners are legally bound to adhere to under the law.

The moral of the story is not to buy a house in an HOA subdivision unless you are completely prepared to adhere to all current and potential future HOA rules.

But even if you are not part of an HOA, a city, town, zone, or county can still come along and do evil things that are even worse than an HOA taking down basketball poles along the right of way.

Bottom line: No one really owns property in the United States. We all lease our property from the government. If anyone doubts that, try not paying your property taxes or HOA dues and you will immediately find out who actually owns "your" property. -ng-
