Do some research and find hundreds of violations of fire code, Americans with disabilities violations, local ordinances. There are ALWAYS lots of violations... weeds too high on association property, swimming pools in violation of safety regs. They back off real quick to protect themselves from you.
I even found that our homeowner’s association enforcer’s house was built too close to his property line in violation of the municipal laws and association regs without a zoning variance. He is my neighbor. He does not want to move a $750k house.
I have known of homeowners associations where most of the neighbors hate each other and have on-going never ending disputes and squabbles with others wanting to kill the members of the board and on and on.
Yes. The Hillary way does work.
