Steamy HOA Poop!

I promise you, I absolutely promise you I have tried to avoid writing about this story. It first popped up about three years ago, and is so far outside the realm of common sense that I haven’t wanted to damage my own credibility by retelling it.

Still, more and more HOAs around the country are turning to DNA analysis to find out whose dog is pooping on whose lawn.

No, really.

There’s nothing that drives an HOA board member nuttier than seeing someone else’s dog squat on an unapproved lawn. And technology has made it cheaper for an HOA to actually trace a dog dump.

How the Lowly Honeybee Could Impact Your Life

We are alive on this Earth because of the lowly honeybee. Without it, our crops couldn’t be pollinated, and much of today’s food production would virtually vanish.

So a legal case is developing in Tennessee over whether an HOA member could keep some honeybees.  Even better, there are profound implications on whether HOAs are de facto governments, as most of us believe they are. Better people than I are blogging about this right now, including Arizona’s homeowners champion, George Staropoli. It’s an important read!
