“… Their main goal Wednesday was to get the man in compliance with the local homeowners association.…”
*****************************************************
The local government is now responsible for HOA compliance?
Let me guess. The mayor's wife, or some other relative, is head of the homeowner's association and is triggered by unmowed grass.
And apparently people are ok with that.
Also with the idea that if someone joins a home owners association they can never leave. Sort of like communism, you have to shoot your way out.
And with the idea that if you choose not to join a home owners association they can blatantly forge papers saying you joined.
And if you do not do as ordered they can take your home and sell it.
