here’s the rest; mentions grass measurement... I’ve heard of them doing that in areas of my town..
“not being human if they were not acting like human beings, I was going to shoot them. He since changed his plea to Not Guilty.
In yet another video, a desperate HOA director firmly declares their HOA meeting to be Out of Control. Listen to his very strange laugh as he closes down the meeting when one HOA resident told him, You are mumbling. He tells another resident, Step away from the microphone you are out of order you can leave any time you wish were at recess now. He boldly tells another resident, I dont have to be polite with you, madam ha, ha, ha.
A source told me what happened at a Florida HOA meeting he attended. The meeting became heated and tempers flared when election results did NOT go the way of the entrenched board fossils. Im quoting exactly now: A bunch of loud mouth New York drunks were out in the parking lot, at a local service club. When results of the BOD elections of officers did not go their way, this group began screaming, yelling, acting out, within earshot of Mets Stadium. As the Florida twilight turned into southern darkness, my source told me these NY drunks left.
How have HOAs grabbed so much power over the lives of educated, competent, high end achievers, retired professionals, widows, old men and women? Why do residents allow these condo commandos to take control of their money and use these dollars to make them miserable in their own homes?
The truth may rest in what an old man told me when I asked him to stand up to the HOA directors. He said, I fought my battles up North I cant fight anymore down here. Yes, HOAs do maintain standards and keep up property values, to a point. However, when these HOA overlords and their heavy handed professional teams of lawyers, managers and repair people ignore the bounds of decency, an affected community can turn very quickly into a living hell. Resident is pitted against resident; people turn their neighbors in, often for petty infractions just to be vindictive for who knows what reason. The use of ridiculous spying methods, keeping a record of those invited into a neighbors home, building dossiers on residentsespecially those not properly respectful of Association directorsthis is the nonsense which must come to a halt.
Im especially concerned about the use of those dreadful warning letters which do not contain the name of our accuser and which might actually be used as sources of HOA income. Silence, lack of transparency, over reach of authority all make for HOA misery.
If you are fed up and want your HOAs to treat you fairly and with respect, you may contact the following: State Senator Alan Hays (R-Umatilla) 850-487-5011; hays.alan.web@flsenate.gov/ He is in charge of HOA issues. The Florida Legislature convenes on Tuesday, March 3 for a short, one month only session.

As the former president of a condo HOA, this is reason 316 why I live out in the country: no HOAs. No neighbors either. Just peace and quiet.
No 2am phone calls about taken reserved parking spots or loud parties. No frivolous lawsuits. No foreclosures because a homeowner refused to pay his part of roof repair expenses, etc.
