Beiber’s New Babysitter

The Beverly Hills homeowners association where Justin Beiber has a full-time party pad has had it up to its corporate eyebrows with Beiber’s behavior. His parties get out of control, the neighbors are miserable.

But according to TMZ, they’re trying to crack down. The HOA has voted to hire a security company to work during Beiber’s party hours. And they’re going to bill Beiber’s landlord which is the way it should be.

Despite this blogger’s annoyance with the illegal activities of many HOA boards across the country, there’s no reason for people to have to put up with willful illegal activity of a resident. And this HOA is doing what HOAs are supposed to do.

HOA Hall Of Shame Targets Forest Hills

Homeowners in Las Vegas are some of the fortunate few in the country who can monitor the behavior of their HOA boards. But it wouldn’t happen without Darcy Spears, creator of the HOA Hall of Shame report. There’s never a lack of misbehavior among Nevada Homeowners Associations to report on.

The latest is in the Forest Hills Homeowners Association where homeowners have often found their water shut off because of collapsed water pipes. Complain to a board member and they refer you to the management company, H&L Realty, which either refers you back to the board or hangs up on you. If you want that morning shower you have to find a contractor and pay for all the damage yourself. Of course, you have to keep paying those high HOA dues which theoretically are supposed to pay for basic maintenance.

Arizona’s Blondie & The Bimbo With Another Top Ten Hit!

Gosh, Representative Michelle Ugenti is cute.

But apparently, she doesn’t have much upstairs to brag about. Once again she and her cohorts in the State Legislature have passed what appears to be an illegal law and have gotten Governor Blondie to sign it.

The last time she did this, the law was thrown out by the state courts as being unconstitutional. The Arizona Constitution clearly states that the title of a law must reflect the content of the bill.

But once again, Blondie and the Bimbo have taken a hodgepodge of ‘stuff’ and jammed it into an intentionally misleading title. Now we learn that another lawsuit has been filed against this crowd.

Stupid, Stupid Florida

You’ve heard about the new law in Florida, haven’t you? The one that now gives “emergency powers” to all Homeowners Associations, condo associations and property owners associations?

Yep, all HOA boards will now have “emergency powers” to raise dues, make contracts and borrow money without even all board members being present, without even allowing homeowners to have a say.

All I can really do is shake my head in disgust and ask my readers to consider five of the most significant dates in world history:

January 30, 1933.

February 27th, 1933.

February 28th, 1933.

A Rare Retreat By An HOA

An HOA apologize to someone it’s wronged? When pigs fly!

But that’s exactly what happened when the Fieldstone Homeowners Association ticketed an 81 year old Navy veteran for using the American flag as an “inappropriate curtain.”

When the Post Falls American Legion announced it would support the vet’s right to display the flagĀ from inside his home, the HOA board quickly crawled back down its hole, saying it would rescind the violation and even apologize to the veteran.

Yes, some pigs can fly. Not often. But it’s a beautiful sight to see.
