That is correct in as much as the property is private and they can promulgate whatever parking regulations they want. But to say that the state of CA has no policy about the parking on private property is not correct. The state does have a statute that addresses it and allows the property owner to determine if the vehicle is parked illegally and if it can be removed.
If you are saying that the HOA needs to have rules and regulations that determine if a vehicle is parked contrary to the rules, I would agree. The state gave them the right to have those vehicles remove.
