HOAs Always Want More Control (And Money.)
January 25, 2009
Power-seeking HOA boards of directors along with the CAI, are the propaganda arm of the HOA industry et al and are influenced and maintained by them. The Community Association Institute and HOA industry commands the loyalty of true believers. The HOA Industry et al can back their proclamations with physical force by legally fining, liening, and foreclosing our homes. This is the end of "private property." This is rule by the legal system and HOA industries with their puppet HOA boards of directors. No wonder that the few newer homes or any homes not in HOAs command higher prices and are so much more desirable than those in HOA controlled harassment camps!

FL HOA PUD UPDATE.........October 2008
October 20, 2008
Just an update on the current condition of our central Florida mandatory HOA PUD (planned unit development,) There are quite a few bank foreclosures here now, some in very questionable condition and maintenance.......Surprise! Surprise!
The "management company" sent "Violation Notices" to some of the remaining, resident "titleholders"....let me quote from our latest: "During our most recent inspection our inspector noticed the following situation." "Please clean the driveway to remove any mold and mildew. Thanks." (The key word here must be "any.")
"Please understand that after this notification, there will be a second notification, and after that point, the community will correct the infraction themselves under the statutory and Declaration prescribed "self-help" method, and at that point, the item will be charged and individually assessed to the unit owner via a special assessment." "If you have corrected this situation before receiving this letter 'Thank You' on behalf of the Board of Directors."
Notwithstanding the fact that this IS FL hurricane season until Nov., maybe beyond, and we are having a lot of much needed rain, which of course, makes for mold and mildew on concrete, etc. The "property manager" and "inspector" must in all circumstances keep up their cashflow from the...

The HOA Industry Despotic Deathgrip
April 29, 2008
The HOA Industry has a despotic deathgrip on homeowners in America. A shift of power away from the HOA Industry lawyers and HOA service providers to the oppressed and financially strapped homeowers must begin in earnest now! Many mandatory HOA "members" are now being charged for the foreclosures happening in their HOA communities. These foreclosed properties are not paying any HOA dues and assessments - we, the "homeowners" are paying for them. When the foreclosed properties do not pay HOA assessments, the other "homeowners" or titleholders pay them!

Fraud and Exploitation in Homeowners Association Corporations or HOAnron
March 19, 2008
According to Alan Wertheimer as regards exploitation........"To exploit others is to take unfair advantage of them. Although 'exploitation' has figured prominently in Marxist theories, it is frequently invoked in ordinary and political discourse.....fraud, and consensual exploitation, where it appears that the exploited party has given voluntary and appropriately informed consent to the transaction."
According to HOA Industry advocates, developers, and HOA promoters, it is consensual because at the time of purchasing their homes, the homebuyers gave their consent to live under the dictates of the HOA Board of Directors and Officers, their HOA and CAI lawyers, CAMs and their management companies, and the Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions, (CC&Rs) which are very often ambiguous and subject to interpretation by the courts.
The problem with HOA homeownership is that, in most cases, "voluntary and appropriately informed consent to the transaction" did not take place at all. This is a matter for the Community Association Institute, exploited and defrauded homeowners living in mandatory HOAs, legislators, and politicians to address.

Covenant Enforcement
February 10, 2008
Social Manipulation, Control, Harassment, and Fee Generation by HOAs and the People Who Brought Them To Us. (Copyright 2008 by Koreen Kruger)
When you consider that powerful, influential S.I.G.s (Special Interest Groups), comprised of the U.L.I. (Urban Land Institute), the N.A.R. (National Association of Realtors), the C.A.I. (Community Association Institute), and the N.A.H.B. (National Association of Home Builders), and others brought the concept of Homeowner Associations into concrete reality, it is not surprising that HOAs are structured to enforce social-psychological methods of persuasion and apply group conformity pressures in artificial cultural constructs.
"Covenant Enforcement" sounds very Biblical and religious in it's implications. In one "letter of violations" a Florida "LCAM" states: "Our job is Covenant Enforcement!" Too bad legitimate laws are not enforced with such conviction. There is already enough social and religious persecution without "Covenant Enforcement" harassment and malicious prosecution.
HOAs are experiments in social engineering and manipulation of human behavior primarily to generate income and fees for their perpetrators. Their blatant self-interests are forcing the compliance of "homeowners" sujected to collusive and coercive harassment reinforced by threats of fines, liens, foreclosures, and loss of their "homes."
The HOA Boards of "directors and officers" are pawns in this high-powered...
