HOA Hall Of Shame Targets Forest Hills

      No Comments on 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.

It’s just another in a long, long list of reasons to discard the current HOA system.

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

      No Comments on 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.

Yes, she’s still cute.

But do the people of Arizona ever get embarrassed by the idiots they keep electing?

Stupid, Stupid Florida

      3 Comments on 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.

March, 5, 1933.

March 23, 1933.

Every school kid should have those dates locked in their hearts and committed to memory for life. I seriously doubt if a kid….or a parent, anywhere, has any idea of the significance:

January 30th, Adolph Hitler becomes Chancellor of Germany.

February 27th, an arsonist sets fire to the Reichstag Building.

February 28th, blaming “an emergency” thousands of people, including all legislators not friendly to the Nazi cause, are arrested and imprisoned.

March 5th, new elections put the Nazi party in control of Germany.

March 23rd, the Enabling Act takes effect, which essentially makes Adolph Hitler the absolute dictator over Germany.

Jan Bergemann, one of the biggest homeowners rights advocates in the nation, is one of the few Americans who knows all about those five dates. After all he was originally from Germany and he knows what happens when dictators are given unrestrained power. He now lives in Florida where he’s been the state’s top crusader against abuses and crimes committed by the boards of rogue Homeowners Associations.

Bergemman says the new Florida “emergency powers” law is dangerous.

That could well be the understatement of the year.

A Rare Retreat By An HOA

      1 Comment on 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 flag 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.

HOA Maggots In New Jersey

      No Comments on HOA Maggots In New Jersey

New York hotels are having a huge problem with bedbugs. In a New Jersey Homeowners Association, it’s the maggots who handle property management for the Society Hill Condo Association who are the problem.

Seems a mom who’s seeking a kidney transplant for her adult daughter found herself being attacked by these HOA parasites. This mom had the gall to put a couple of magnetic signs on her car asking for help for her daughter.

Well, folks, advertising signs of any kind are prohibited in many HOAs, even magnetic signs.

I’ve got a great idea. Why not manufacture giant magnetic maggots to place on the doors of each car in the neighborhood? It’s not really advertising. You’re not really advertising any business or cause. It’s just a new way of flipping the bird. Of course, every condo owner in the state will figure out what the giant maggots are all about. And if everybody took part it might even beautify the neighborhood.
