You have discovered what a joke HOAs are. They are great if you are a board member and find yourself above the law and CC&Rs, indemnified by insurance paid for by the poor slob homeowners, and with the power to punish those neighbors you dislike.
You, on the other hand, are nothing but the open...
What you have learned the hard way, is that HOA Boards can do anything they want regardless of the law.
HOA lawyers and Prop Managers are perhaps the most preditory businesses out there.

HOAs are terrible!
Yes, HOAs and Condos are a joke on us all.
