Using Agitprop and elements of the Delphi propaganda method (3), lethal Home Owners Associations (HOAs) are moving north out of huge Miami-Fort Lauderdale territories up along Floridas I-95 corridor to take over more and more personal property rights of unsuspecting homeowners in gated, HOA communities. And the effects are not pretty! Resetting the default position. . .exploits the structure of the choice to encourage a more desirable option, says Cass R. Sunstein, author of the book NUDGE. (1) Employed by the Obama Administration as a regulatory czar, it was Sunsteins job to have the American people do what the government wanted them to do, all the while believing it was actually their own idea!
A heuristic is a term applied to getting a student or other type of governmental human unit to do what government wants them to do by programing certain choices involving quick decisions and empirical thought processes rather than theory based decision. Most conservatives should be quite aware of the United Nations inspired Agenda 21, Seven/50 attempts to take over private property of unsuspecting Americans. Choice Architecture, a devastating term developed by Sunstein and co-author Richard Thaler, is defined this way: If you want a person to reach a desirable outcome and you cant change the heuristic shes following, then you have to meddle with the choice architecture, setting up one that when matched with the given heuristic delivers the desirable (for govt) outcome, writes the former Obama czar. (2) Nudging HOA residents along the path of cessation of private property rights plays into big government agendas!
Remnants of Agenda 21 are destroying the peace of neighborhoods and towns in South Florida. All along the coast, citizens and local governments are being traumatized by the All Aboard Florida project that seeks to run at least 32 trains...

Actually, Kelsey Grammer was PERFECT as Frasier. He did an excellent job. That team of actors on that show really were exceptional. I believe this is the best written comedy on TV and one of the few shows whose episodes are funny over and over and over.
The only time Kelsey acknowledged the camera as himself on the show is a little gem. The horny ex girlfriend who is a beloved children’s character doing shows all over the country is in his kitchen complaining about her job. She whines to Frasier, “Can you IMAGINE playing the same character for 20 years??” He turns to the camera and just gives a LOOK, like old Bob Hope would have done in his day. It kills me every time.
Sounds like you’re a fan!
No. We’re older and I don’t have that big black deer catcher on the front of mine. ;-)
But my wife is hotter!
Talk about being off topic.
“...no polka-dot houses...”
Not HOA related, but I did see a house where a guy had a purple GTO Judge and had the trim on his house painted to match.
You misunderstood my posting...assisted living had nothing to do with it
The couple wanted to leave their home covered by the HOA.
They were going to move out
The HOA told them that they could not rent out their prperty to tenants.
That was the problem.
Yeah, right.
I grew up in the first condo to be built in King County (Seattle).
We regularly had potluck parties by our community pool, the neighbors knew each other, and the rules were common sense. Kids were a regular feature, playing putt-putt golf, swimming in the pool, etc.
Over many years Nazis moved in and took over. Everything had to be THEIR way. One, with buds on the board, got a 100 foot madrona tree cut down, because “she didn’t like all the leaves”. Never mind that the tree was there before the condo was even built, and long before her lazy ass moved in.
It culminated with the Nazis allowing NO CHILDREN, and mandating that no residents could be under 55 ! As you might imagine,, this had a major effect on my mother selling her condo. The community potlucks had devolved to the point where they were very sparsely attended affairs put on by “The Board”, and featured food from the “Board Approved” vendor, Costco.
The nature of HOAs is to run from reasonable at first to “You vill comply !” as people with nothing to do except rule over the neighbors take over. They have all the time in the world and will use it to your detriment.
I purposefully bought in an UNRESTRICTED neighborhood in Houston, close to downtown. It’s becoming grossly yuppified, with TWO $400,000 condos occupying the 50’ wide lot where ONE house stood. Time to move before they vote in an HOA. Thank God it takes 75% to get it in.
Buy in a HOA area and you’ve invited poisonous snakes to move in with you. They suck.
Thanks,I certainly did interpret that incorrectly.
..
That works well, and is exceptionally logical - until the Nazis change the rules on ya X years down the road !
I understand your point, but I don’t know if there’s that clear a distinction between the two. When I was a kid my siblings and I were occasionally dropped off somewhere else for babysitting. Would that constitute a home-based business under HOA rules or a state or municipal law?
Thanks for the ping!
that’s bizarre.....an HOA is the antithesis of libertarianism.
The conservative answer is the freedom to buy - or NOT to buy - into one.
Well several things to say about that:
A: That doesn’t happen very often, but it could suck if it did.
B: It can only happen if the neighborhood is “majority nazi” - it doesn’t come as an invasion from another planet.
C: What kind of 100% total guarantee do you want government to give you?????
D: That freedom to buy or not to buy is still the best way to avoid HOAs.
So I guess an unusual freak occurrence doesn’t really change the debate, does it?
It may sound good, but you have signed on to let other people tell you what you can and can't do with your property. I get enough of that crap from the Gub'ment. Don't need to give idgits that live right in the neighborhood control also.
Try to think ideas for a second. Think beyond the immediate.
The conservative view of HOAs is the freedom not to be in one if you don’t want to. Or the freedom to be in one if you like the house, condo, whatever, and you think having an HOA is a good thing.
There’s no government saying you MUST join this or that.
“That was a seriously yuppie-like post. I think you should consider changing your screen name.”
Look, I’m all for “freedom”, but you would not believe some of the things that I’ve seen. I’ve never had to deal with it myself but there by accounts with friends, there is no hell like that of having a bad neighbor.
HOA’s exist now because common sense, respect for others, and public decency don’t.
If the sitter was paid regularly, had several regular customers and was licensed at that address, for purposes of the HOA I lived in it was a business.
