A new reader on this blog has asked me to post a link to his neighborhood’s struggle. I’m happy to do it, mostly since it demonstrates once again that Homeowners Associations are fascist dictatorships in which homeowners completely give up their property rights.
Stonegate Village Metropolitan District is in Douglas County, Colorado. The Metro District wants to take away the neighborhood activities center and turn it into offices for its own employees. It’s fascinating reading, but here’s a related and intriguing note:
An insider has told me that the HOA scam will someday be dwarfed by the Metropolitan District scam. He says once Coloradans find out how much of their money has been bled away by Metro Districts and how financially strapped Metro Districts are they’ll be stunned. Absolutely stunned. I’m just putting it out there.

I don’t know if Colorado licenses or certifies property managers, but in my state they don’t unfortunately. I can certainly understand a board getting fed up with a property manager and/or company, but what this board is doing is outrageous. I seriously hope the residents can pull together and fight this. In many HOAs there is too much apathy among residents to effectively fight a rogue board.
Thank you for your fine work!
