HOA Crisis in America is a compilation of time zones created by Professor Solomon. The timezones on hoacrisisinamerica.com have been transcribed into a book. The book covers the controversy surrounding the detrimental effects of living in Homeowners Associations, called HOAs. In this book Professor Solomon explains why local, state, national government, police, and the legal system does not want to interfere in HOA business. Documented are the horrific atrocities that have been perpetrated by HOAs, including; elder abuse, stress induced illnesses, problems within families, financial abuse, foreclosures, violence, and even murders. The Professor fathered, defined and popularized HOA Syndrome, an anxiety disorder similar to PTSD. HOA Syndrome is a combination of symptoms experienced by homeowners who have been harassed and abused by their HOA Board Members, Management Companies, Collection Companies, and HOA Attorneys by levying fines, liens, even foreclosure, and retaliation for those homeowners who stand up for their rights.

Leseproben

ONE O'CLOCK LIVING THE NIGHTMARE In 1874 Earnest Crissop authored the story of the farmer and the snake. It is one of the earliest memories of stories from my childhood. Over the years the story has had a number of subtle revisions. (A farmer finds a snake in the snow and ice. Feeling bad for the snake the farmer takes him into his house. The snake thaws out and then bites the farmer.) Growing up the message I got from the snake was, you knew I was a snake before you brought me into your home--no good deed goes unpunished. I bring this to your attention because in my opinion the HOA Boards, Collection Companies, Management Companies, and HOA lawyers are the snakes in the HOA communities. Buy a home in a HOA and they're sure to bite you. Like the story of the snake, the homeowner will cry "Why did you do this to me, why did you fine me, why are you sending me letters, why are you foreclosing on me, why are you harassing me, why are you doing all these things to me? All I want to do is live in peace in my own property". And like the snake, your HOA Board, Collection Companies, Management Companies and HOA attorneys will parrot to you, "You knew what you were getting in to when you moved into the neighborhood, you knew we were going to bite you, just take it and pay-up". Cry, complain, moan, groan, you will get no help, support, or sympathy from the snakes in your life. The Monsters are Due on Maple Street Now that you understand the meaning behind the story of the farmer and the snake, let's try another story. On March 4, 1960, Rod Serling of Twilight Zone fame, released "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street". Over the years The Monsters are Due on Maple Street", stayed with me, often times haunting me. Some years ago when I began doing my work and research on HOAs the story came back to me-- it's true meaning struck me. I invite you to watch "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street", in its entirety, about twenty-two minutes in length. The story shows the viewer exactly what happens in Home Owners Associations. In the end you will learn that all Management Companies, Collection Companies, and HOA lawyers have to do is to sit back and wait for you, the home owner, to do self-destruct on your own-- all at the direction of your HOA Board Of Directors, your fellow home owners and neighbors. It's imperative that you understand that none of the evil happens unless your HOA Board Of Directors authorizes the evil to occur. Being angry at the management companies, collection companies, and lawyer snakes and monsters is a waste of your time. All they want is your money, lots and lots of your money. It's your neighbors on the board who authorize the dispensing of the fines, liens and foreclosures, it's always your neighbors on the board. If we combine the two messages that come from the two stories, the farmer and the snake and "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street", we're left with the following-- if you let these people into your life, house, then you are the poor fool who got too close to the snakes and the monsters. "What did you expect?" They will say, "you knew, or should have known what you were getting yourself into when you signed the, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), you deserve all that we do to you". Please listen and learn, wise up, get smart, the HOAs stealing and harassment won't stop unless you put a stop it. Later in the book I will explain what you can do to stop the snakes from biting and the monsters from landing. Following "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" there are news releases from all over the United States. They are but a fraction of the HOA incidents; most cases don't even make it to the media. Watch closely, do not let yourself be another HOA Board Of Directors, The Management Company, The Collection Company, and HOA lawyer's victim. To paraphrase Mark Twain, "My apologies to the snakes and the monsters for comparing them to HOA Board Members, Management Companies, Collection Companies, and HOA lawyers. In truth, snakes and monsters were never that bad". X-files - Transcript HOA Board Member: "Putting in a pool in the front yard? What, are you insane? Ever look at the CC&Rs? You can't just put in a swimming pool!" Homeowner: "It's not a swimming pool, it's a reflecting pool. I checked the rules, there's no rule against putting in a reflecting pool, very tranquil, you'll like it". Suburgatory - Transcript Narration: We were excited about our first Halloween in Chastain, maybe more excited than we should have been. Neighbor: "Hey neighbor! I'm not afraid to die, I've lived in Chastain! Hey buddy, what's going on"! Homeowner: "Eh, nothing. Going to cut Tessa's head off with my new guillotine, but I really have no follow through so.. ". Neighbor: "Terrific, gory stuff, yikes! Have you cleared any of this with the neighborhood association (NA)? You have to clear decorations"? Homeowner: "It's Halloween". Neighbor: "Yeah but the neighborhood association has to approve any changes to the town aesthetic. It can be a total drag, it's like coming down on me with your rules, neighborhood association, but then again, Chastain always wins the award for the most uniformed houses. That's not nothing". Homeowner: "It's next to nothing. I'm putting up my decorations. What are they going to do, fine me"? Neighbor: "Yes, they're going to fine you". Homeowner: "Fine me, fine"! Neighbor: "Don't pretend like you have disposable income let me uh-- help you put this in the garage, you can talk to Dallas, she's the head of the NA. Maybe she'll bend the rules for you"! **** Monsters are Due on Maple Street - transcription Act I "Welcome to Maple Street, you may not have noticed, but that was the sound of the Home Owners Association landing in your neighborhood, and now you're going to get a chance to watch what Home Owners Associations do to neighborhoods. Narrator: At the sound of the roar and the flash of light it will be precisely 6:43 P.M. on Maple Street. Steve: What was that? A meteor? Don: That's what it looked like. I didn't hear any crash though, did you? Steve: Nope. I didn't hear anything except a roar. Mrs. Brand: Steve? What was that? Narrator: Maple Street. Six-forty-four P.M. on a late September evening. Maple Street in the last calm and reflective moment…before the monsters came! Woman: Operator, operator. Operator, Steve, the powers off. I had a soup on the stove and the stove just stopped working. Is your phone alright? I can't get anybody on mine! Is the power off or something? Mrs. Brand: Steve, the power's off. I had the soup on the stove and the stove just stopped working. Woman: Same thing over here. I can't get anybody on the phone either. The phone seems to be dead. Neighbors: Electricity's off. Phone won't work. Can't get a thing on the radio. My power mower won't work, won't work at all. Radio's gone dead! Van Horn: I'll cut across the backyard… see if the power is still on on Floral Street. I'll be right back. Steve: Doesn't make sense, why should the power go off all of a sudden and then the phone lines? Don: Maybe some kind of an electrical storm or something. Charlie: That don't seem likely. Skies just as blue as anything. Not a cloud. No lightning. No thunder. No nothing. How could it be a storm? Woman: I can't get a thing on the radio. Not even on the portable. Charlie: Well, why don't we go downtown and check with the police, though they'll probably think we're crazy or something. A little power failure and right away we all get flustered and everything. Steve: It isn't just a power failure, Charlie. If it was we'd still be able to get a broadcast on the portable. Steve: I'll take a run downtown maybe I can get it straightened out. Steve: I don't understand it. It was working fine before. .. Don: Out of gas? Steve: I just had it filled up. Woman: What's it mean? Charlie: It's just as if…as if everything stopped. We'd better walk downtown. Steve: The two of us can go, Charlie. It couldn't be the meteor. A meteor couldn't do this. Tommy, a teenager: Mister Brand, you better not! Steve: Why not? Tommy: They don't want you to. Steve: Who doesn't want us to? Tommy: Them. Steve: Them? Charlie: Who are them? Tommy: Whoever was in that thing that came by overhead. Steve: What? Tommy: Whoever was in the thing that came over. I don't think they want us to leave here. Steve: What do you mean? What are you talking about? Tommy: They don't want us to leave. That's why they shut everything off. Steve: What makes you say that? Whatever gave you that idea? Woman: Now isn't that the craziest thing you've ever heard? Tommy: It's always that way, in every...
