This is a brilliant piece written by George Staropoli that
is factual and very easy to read and understand.

A quote from the end:
"In his seminal book, Privatopia: Homeowners Associations and the Rise of Residential Private Government, Even McKenzie wrote in 1994,
HOAs currently
engage in many activities that would be prohibited if they were viewed by the
courts as the equivalent of local governments. . . . The balance of power
between the individual and the private government is reversed in HOAs. … The
property rights of the developer, and later the board of directors, swallow up
the rights of the people, and public government is left as a bystander.
And this is the purpose in establishing
“association law” — to avoid constitutional protections, to deprive people
of their life, liberty, or property without due process of law,
and to deny homeowners of the equal protection of the laws that
apply to all public bodies." George Staropoli.Is it any wonder that the most vulnerable populations are being targeted, farmed combed and framed for this horrific legal abuse and criminal homelessness? There is no system of justice for the victims. The predators, the perpetrators have the system "rigged" and want no one to be the wiser, in my opinion. This is a terrible, intentional and unthinkable miscarriage of justice, if YOU, r someone you know, or love is their victim. Americans, please wake up!

In the TimesDispatch internet column, “Housing”, two
attorneys talk about “association law” (Mercer, Trigiani are guiding voices in
homeowner association law).
What is not made clear is just what association law is? It
is not a recognized classification of law, but one promoted by the legal-academic
aristocrats and CAI. (“Community Association Law
Seminar, Jan. 23–25, 2014 | Las Vegas, NV.”) The massive Restatement
of Law series consists of some 96 volumes covering 26 categories of law, but no
“association law” category. In fact, laws pertaining to HOAs and
covenants/servitudes, the legal basis for HOA authority, can be found in the
Property: Servitudes series.

“association law” thing all about?

I am waiting for the day when homeowners realize how they have been duped in name of "keeping up property values!"
It's never been about that. Yes, if you maintain your home properly, you should make a nice profit when you sell; however, the builder/developer and attorneys benefit tremendously from "association law."
So many buyers never realize what they are getting into when they sign the settlement papers and check the box that ensures you are aware you are purchasing a home in a covenant-controlled community.
You are told what flowers you can plant and where you can park your car. You cannot make ANY exterior changes to your home or lot without written permission. If you are late with your monthly association dues, the association's board of directors can foreclose your home and kick you out.
It has gone way over the top and egotistical boards take great pleasure in playing favorites and making others' lives miserable.
Wake Up Homeowners!
I work in this industry and know from whence I speak!
Give people their rights back, sign this petition!

Sign this petition! HOA rules and regulations are not being followed by the management companies and are causing mass issues throughout the US. I know personally the damage that I have suffered as a homeowner and the threats, slander are more than true. People get scared, witnesses get scared and the HOA's drag this out to make people poor. They don't want you to be able to stand up even when you are right. I had a board member tell me all the ills they had planned and to get the *%& out of my condo. It was unsafe and the board knew it, but because of financial reasons and them not wanting to go bankrupt they ignored these issues. I have been fighting for my home since 2000, after repairs were not up to code, I suffered raw sewage in a volcanic nature coming out of my kitchen sink, orange slimy water that smelled like rotten eggs, sewage in all sinks and my bathtub, dishwasher and even my washer. Then there was mold and sparks electrically, no where to get help. Threats from board members and the list goes on. The fact that they knew and that the building as a whole is not safe scares me, and I fear for people who's safety is in question, because of money. These people are sick and need to be held accountable. Pinnacle was my management company at the time and did not do anything but allow the above to happen. They transferred to Bright Realty Management and now Top Flight Management. My neighbor and pat board member told me that they wanted to make it appear that they were losing papers through this manner if later caught. The truth was that they were altering documents and pulling documents that could harm them. They are smart and dangerous. I have lost relationships, friends and family because of this and will not bow down to them.. The truth will be told and I will fight until, they are exposed. Please document everything as you go through this process and be aware this can happen, its a reality. I have attached a link for people to sign and tell there story and to help people from HOA abuse .http://www.petition2congress.com/1940/stop-hoas-from-stealing-peoples-homes/
