Why does a family with a handicapped child even have to go through this kind of a lawsuit?
Why?
Damn Homeowners Associations!
Damn them!
Sorry to be so emotional.

It seems some homeowners in the Savanna, Georgia area have their panties-in-a-bunch over what they believe is an illegal kickback scheme between developer DR Horton and the cable company. They’ve filed a lawsuit saying they’re each being cheated out of $100 a month.
Sadly, they won’t win. Homeowners almost never, ever do, especially against giant developers like DR Horton. Nope, the developers have the inside track with local government officials. There’s lots of money that slides back and forth at that level.
Still, you’ve gotta give these homeowners credit for trying.

It’s amazing how many homeowners don’t have a clue about the extent of organized corruption in the whole Homeowners Association industry.
Las Vegas? The feds convict 43 HOA ‘insiders’ for stealing 60 million dollars.
South Carolina? Well, this one is interesting. Up to five dozen Homeowners Associations have joined in a lawsuit against one of the state’s largest HOA management companies. Once again, endemic corruption. These homeowners have absolutely no idea how much has been stolen from them. The owner of the company admits she was stealing. Tears. Sobs. Regret that she got caught.
Folks, this same kind of corruption is an infection on a massive scale. It exists only because of crooked deals made between land developers and public officials.
“Ah, but my HOA is one of the honest ones!”
Really?

As many of you know, Arizona’s George Staropoli is one of the pioneers and heroes of our movement. I just wish I had his IQ and his intellect. In the essay linked below he performs surgery on the lie that HOA industry representatives constantly spread through our legislatures. Print it out and place it on the desks of each man and woman in government.
