My undergraduate degree was in Industrial Sociology from Ohio State and Homeowners Associations did not exist as they do today. These are really good case studies, until you have experienced it you would never believe it.
I went on to have a career as an entreprenuer in the real estate industry. I love helping people so was elected to public office. It seemed like it would be good to learn as much as I could about government and public policy so in late middle age I got a Master's in Public Administration from Cleveland State.
After owning a home in Florida for 25 years, we are now having problems with a Homeowners Association that I never heard from except to pay our annual fee. After two meetings with the recently formed Covenants Group, I can agree with just about everything written on this topic.
Foreclosures are everywhere in this pricy neighborhood and instead of working to help people the policy seems to be fine them, get the lien and start a foreclosure action.
How about someone who has nothing better to do than drive around every week like gestapo police - your trash cans aren't in your garage 15 minutes after the pick up; your mailbox is dirty, your roof needs to be pressure washed, your ladder needs to be put away quicker. It goes on and on. You can't park on a street in your own neighborhood.
I haven't figured out how a home owners association can legislate rules on a county street.
