Well, they changed it due to outrage. The fact these idiots even thought of doing this, and the ridiculous fine amount for not complying, deserves all the outrage it can get.
The numerous idiotic HOA stories that pop-up across the US every year is rather telling regarding how people really act when given power with little constraint.
I'd say KMA, the door is a security measure, see you in court.
Oh yeah, we'll sue you for court costs too, then disband the HOA BoD and put in people with actual functioning brains.
What has not been clarified in the news stories or conversations is who, exactly, decreed that the doors should remain open. Was it the management company, the HOA Board of Directors or was it done by vote of the entire membership? It also has not been stated what the bylaws state regarding what is the requirement for the institution of such a regulation.

Exactly.....if everyone had been sheep (as apparently the poster you responded to implied) and not expressed outrage but submitted to the idiot HOA ridiculous rule then not only would it NOT have been changed but those power hungry morons would come up with more foolish rules under the guise of "protecting people from themselves".

Screw HOAs, I would never live within one. Luckily they're not at all common in my area. They're common for condos and townhomes, but far less common for single family home neighborhoods.
Homes without HOAs in my part of the state are in demand and selling for a higher value than the HOA burdened homes. Realtors advertise "No HOA" as a selling point in their ads.
The 9-year-old from the Auburn Greens community in Auburn, California, told Fox40 that he worries someone might steal some of his favorite possessions.
His anxiety stems from a new rule created by his community’s homeowners association that mandates residents to keep their garage doors open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays — or face a $200 fine.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea because they are going to steal my bike,” he told Fox 40. “I’ve got an electric scooter, I've got an electric wheelchair, I’ve got all kinds of stuff. So, I just don’t think it’s very good to have it open.”
Had it not been rescinded then the HOA Board probably would have started issuing fines for the garage not being neat & orderly IAW their bylaws.....
