Is this legal?

Yeah the liability issue for theft seems like this would get shut down pretty quick. Many garages in CA are used as laundry and storage, instead of vehicles. And those that use it for vehicles, since CA has a ton of E-vehicles, have built in charging stations that cost quite a bit too. I can't imagine this lasting long.

However, I've asked the question in regards to HOA's too. My mother's neighborhood specified what type of fence people could put up. Yet, they didn't enforce it when people put up the wrong types of fences. But then they came back and forced everyone in the neighborhood to use the same garbage service, raising the monthly price to what my mother had been paying prior, with the new service being worse. It just seems that some HOA's attempt to flex their muscles in unneeded areas, but not in others.
