I perused a few threads and didn't really see an answer to my question, so please forgive if I'm being redundant (again).
Today our Nextdoor App popped up with this thread.

As you see there are already 82 comments. The majority response is "shoot it down" "It's illegal" etc. I
stated federal law and potential penalties if caught shooting at an aircraft which includes drones. And of course I get replies of BS, invasion of privacy, I can protect my house yada yada. Same 'ol rhetoric every time a drone is mentioned. In the past I have professionally attempted educate in simple terms what a drone would be doing if it were flying/shooting for real estate..hovering over other properties for a few minutes to capture different angles.
My question comes from an exchange with someone who said he was a Part 107 license holder, he mentioned that some HOAs have restrictions and you may need to get permission. The question is, can an HOA regulate airspace? As a Pt 107 myself, I shoot for real estate quite a bit. If HOA can regulate, I figure I'm okay (initially) unless there is a sign clearly posted or (until) security of sorts approaches and informs me. To further confuse the issue, 2 separate people claiming to be ex FAA air traffic controllers contradicted each other on HOA's ability to regulate.
