“There are still zoning and sanitation laws. This example is ridiculous.”

We lived in on the Main St. of a small town in Maryland. One year after buying our home, the small apartment building next to us was sold and turned into Section-8 housing. It was a nightmare of drug dealing and prostitution. Our 10 year old daughter was witness to an attempted murder when one resident slit the throat of another. Thanks to modern trauma care and sophisticated ICU care the man lived.

Our house became unmarketable. Fortunately, we were able to sell it to an agency that was going to use as a group home for mentally retarded adults.

Since then we have lived in 1 HOA development, 2 HOA condos, and owned 1 HOA office-condo. We have never had a problem in 17 years. We can travel any time without a single worry about our property. What a relief!
