Where homeowners are ruled, owned, dictated and terrorized by Homeowner Associations

The HOA Primer book on line makes a lot of sense to me. The homeowner is screwed no matter which way you look at it.

Management companies are getting donations from homeowners like us because it comes out of our fees. They laugh all the way to the bank because homeowners are too afraid to stand up for what is being taken away from them, mainly our homes and the right to own one without being dictated to.

It's a great scam when you really look at the whole picture.

You purchase a home, pay taxes, pay additional monthly or yearly fees for the community you live in, but yet, you can't paint the house the color you want, you can't put up shrubs or trees withot paying additional fees for a Committee to either approve or disapprove (and most of the time they disapprove) so you're out that money as well.

Your visitors can only park in front of your home for a specified amount of time, then you get fines and liens on your homes if you do not do as you are told by the Association and Management Company.

They own everything you own, the street you live on, and they control you. What more could you want out of life?

It's just like living in a prison ,,,, only you are still paying for your housing, food and medical expenses without the prison uniforms and cell bars.

So this is what freedom has turned into and we preach to other countries about democracy!

What a bunch of losers afraid to execute the first amendment and in case many of you do not know that might be - it's the FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

But then again, it seems when you speak up, you are "marked" and could possibly go to jail these days.

And we're concerned about terrorist cells within our country who can strike us at any moment?

We are ruled, owned and dictated by them every day and they are called Homeowner Associations.
