The biggest problem with bylaws the minute you let one person slip on the rules the harder it becomes to inforce any of the rules. In my parents neighborhood so many people broke a little rule here and there now the bylaws are worthless. My dad was on the board and warned them this would happen but he did not really care for them to start with.

One time exception to the rule eh? What are you going to tell his next door neighbor when he decides to put up the Vietnamese flag on pole too?

No exceptions! You either change the bylaws, move out, sue or stfu.
