Two Fantastic Quotes!

Sometimes, a movement, a protest, a demand for decent treatment of others can be condensed to just a few words:

And another:

“Whenever one person stands up and says, “Wait a minute, this is wrong,” it helps other people to do the same.”   -Gloria Steinem

That’s all we’re trying to do in exposing the national HOA scam. We just want to help someone.

 

Funniest HOA Video Yet!

Homeowners Associations can, indeed, wreck your life. So there isn’t much humor in the anti-HOA movement. Still, it’s great to see a homeowners rights advocate in Texas making such a good video and sharing it with the rest of the world.

Turn up the volume, click on the video, sit back and enjoy!

Freakin’ Flag Fury

Yet another Homeowners Association is taking aim at a homeowner who’s flying a patriotic flag. Floridians who fly the American flag have been taken to the cleaners over the years by their HOA for flying Old Glory. Then, Governor Jeb Bush stepped in and signed a bill forcing HOAs to allow flag flying. Reluctantly, the HOAs gave in.

But keep in mind that an HOA management company isn’t making money unless it’s fining homeowners, towing away their cars, liening and suing them for one minor violation or another. Trust me, when HOA management companies have their morning meetings, employees are told, “Now GET out there and write some tickets!!! FIND me some violations!!!

So it’s no surprise when Tom Bagnoli of Palm Coast, Florida started getting fined because right under Old Glory he flies a Wounded Warriors flag. In fact, he’s being fined a hundred bucks a day! Keep in mind that there are flags and flagpoles all over the Grand Haven Homeowners Association. POW/MIA flags, flags representing each of the armed forces, and even some flags for sports teams.

But this HOA is definitely going to do its best to reduce Bagnoli’s net worth.

HOA Leaves $60,000 At The Side Of The Road

guest blog by Nila Ridings
 
It wasn’t cash in a bank bag.  Nope, these crooks just sawed the hoofs off a bronze deer, stole the deer and a dozen maple leaf light covers from the Rockwood Falls community entrance. It’s the second time they’ve done that! 
 
Who would think it’s a good idea to place tens of thousands of dollars worth of art out in the open alongside the road?   If it was to provide a visual indication of the prosperous residents that reside within, it did not serve them well.  However, it did make them a target for thieves.  
 
It’s undecided if the board will be replacing the sculptures.  Really?  Call in some common sense here folks!  The news is broadcasting daily about the theft of copper from air conditioning units at schools, churches, light poles, and more.  And bronze statues have been stolen before around Kansas City. Shall we hope the HOA members will stop the madness of their money going to the scrap-metal yards?
 
And since this happened in the city where I live, my tax dollars are now being spent to find and arrest the culprits.  So that makes us all losers in the expense of the missing bronze deer.
