I'm not sure how sitting on top of your tower for nearly a month has
anything to do with a judge making you join a home owners association.
The report didn't mention anything about the home owners association trying
to forbid a tower on the property.
Not to mention it is a pre existing structure which is pretty hard to get
rid of when you bring in a home owners association after the fact.
Seems a little sketchy to me.
