Digial, analog, trinary, HIKE! You won't safe them without MIKE!

In other words children it's all the humans who're messing up your security chain.

You need better, faster, stronger, smarter people who have a driving need to make your security better from the floor sweep to the ablative meat.

Without it you're just asking for an ass raping.

Like a letter and a phone call. They send you a self addressed stamped envelope. You send one half of the code via mail and call them with the other half.
Accounts deactivate at a regular interval and need a reactivation code gets mailed. I'm sure someone can game this but it slows them down.

Pournelle's Iron Law
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle#Iron_Law_of_Bureaucracy

I'm fairly sure that is a facet of that law. You have a less than stellar engineer who goes into management to cover his sins with real engineers flesh. They do tend to keep an organization alive. It would be helpful if there were a clandestine organization that assasinated upper level beurocrats in both government and quazi government entities but that's never going to happen.

Yep
Option 1) Use your vast political machine to convince congress to once again smash the HOA's in the mouth and allow it.
Option 2) You kill enough people in your community they vote to allow it
      a)or vote to pay for the underground wires
      b) or the remaining bleaters all leave and you ARE the
              HOA and you can do what you want.
Option 3) You destroy the local telecom and plunder all of it's accounts of cold hard cash, launder it and use that to take over their infrastructure.
Option 4) Move.

All of them are expensive, some are more expensive than others. If you pick the most expensive and cruel congratulations Bezos has job for you.
