It’s pretty amazing to see the way some neighborhoods tear themselves apart.

The latest goofball story comes from Lake Asbury, Florida. The HOA is threatening to foreclose on the homes of 26 families because they don’t want to pay a dues increase of $50. The HOA needs the money to help maintain docks and boat ramps on the lake. Fifty bucks seems pretty trivial, but the homeowners are taking it to court.

In the meantime, the anger, the frustration, the hatred has made Lake Asbury a pretty attractive place to live, right?
