I think what he means is that they cannot make a rule and enforce it 
against something that was there before the rule was made. I don't have 
restrictions where I live. Just for example IF an HOA was formed and a 
rule made that antennas were not allowed I can keep mine because they 
are already there. They are "Grandfathered".
