Yep. Famous last words, as they say.
My biggest pet peeve in landscape has always been poor spacing decisions.
Landscape architects are notorious for this but also many landscape designers and installers.
Based on all the damage the roots are creating "I would think" your HOA would give you the green light to take it out and replace with a Cabbage Palm. Planted quite a ways away from that one of course to mitigate how much root system you will have to deal with digging the new hole.
You can chainsaw the existing one at ground level and spray the open-faced wood left with Tordon RTU and that will kill the rest of the tree and root system. Easiest way to do it vs stump grinding which just leaves a big mess.
Just my 2 cents....
