Who would you trust? Community Associations Institute (CAI) or homeowner advocates?

As a homeowner advocate, I consider ANYTHING that CAI says to be suspect and driven by green dollars. They make a lot of money doing what they do. The fat paychecks generated off the sweat equity and backs of "Joe Homeowner" are paid out to many a CAI member across the country.

Whether in the form of HOA dues being used to pay to CAI member property managers, realtors, builders and other vendors, or lawyering and litigation costs to CAI member lawyers, or taxes to CAI pandered politicians - it erodes homeowners hard earned equity!!

On the other hand - Homeowner Advocates have little to gain by spreading their message to "Save Homes" and "BAN NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURES". We are passionate about what we do for many reasons. Many of us are disgusted by this rape and pillage of the American Dream of Homeownership, much of it propagated by the bad laws passed by the pandered politicians.

As a society, we need to value the importance of passing down a legacy, not a liability to our heirs and owning our lands for generations to come.

In some countries, mortgages are financed for 100 years and "home sweet home" is a respected and treasured safe haven where you can lay down your roots, raise your families for generations to come and somewhere you can always go back to when you are ready to die.

CAI wrote in a recent petition SUPPORTING the use of NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE BY NEIGHBOR the following: "Why punish millions of dues-paying members for the neglect or inability of an extreme few?"

The better question is this, How can you PUNISH an "extreme few" with such a punitive tool as non-judicial foreclosure by a handful of neighbors with no background checks, in control of an inherently flawed corporate government with NO system of checks and balances, and who are "advised" by handfuls of Homeowner Association industry lawyers with a ve$ted intere$t?

The American Dream has become the Homeowner Association Scheme and homeowner advocates commend those representatives who dare to stand up to decades of this homeowner association corruption and put an end to it once and for all!!
