I’ve linked to this story before, but exposing this kind of person never gets old.
John Carona owns and runs Associa, the largest HOA management firm in the country. Many homeowners have bought into his neighborhoods and long regretted that decision. It’s tough to understand why Texans keep putting him in office.
This politician and his questionable business tactics need to be exposed at every opportunity.

Not everything on this website has to be related to Homeowners Associations. Sometimes, we wander far afield of our intended topic. But when a construction project just defies the imagination, we have to take note.
The Christian Science Church in Dixon, Illinois is a gorgeous building from the street level. But Google Earth shows the building projects a completely different image than the church had originally intended.
Is it possible this architect had some kind of ulterior motive in designing a church building? Does an architect come up with this design just by cosmic accident?
Just wondering.
Lawsuits, anyone?

Perhaps there’s a fundamental problem in our school system, or maybe Americans are just too apathetic to care, but the video linked below is really quite shocking.
Mark Dice calls himself a political prankster. His latest stunt is handing out a petition to see if people would support the creation of a police state like that in Nazi Germany. The Orwellian police state, Dice said, is needed to keep us all safe.
Did people sign the petition?
As you watch the video below keep asking yourself, “Would Americans really vote themselves into a tyrannical form of government?”
Well, 62 million of them already have.

I wrote about this topic in my new book, Neighbors At War: The Creepy Case Against Your Homeowners Association. Some readers were a little skeptical, but the latest study by scientists at MIT and Princeton University seems to back my claim up.
People actually take pleasure in hurting others. Obviously not everybody lacks empathy. But a solid majority of those studied shows that many folks get some kind of a ‘buzz’ when they hurt someone else, especially those they envy.
It’s not the first such study. Others have shown that a vast majority of people would actually hurt other people, even fatally, if put in a position of power.
But this latest study adds interesting information when you look at HOA board members who abuse their positions of power over others.
