I blog about homeowners associations, homeownership in U.S. HOAs and condos, US housing real estate trends, consumer protection laws. Christian conservative.

@DrFrankTurek In church, the Gospel of Mark. In my reading plan, Joshua.

Our refrigerator just died... again. This is our second refrigerator in ten years. It was a Whirlpool, a "plain Jane" model with no bells, no whistles, and no fancy screens. We bought it for its simplicity, thinking it would be the one thing in our house that just worked.

It lasted five years and one month, exactly thirty days past the warranty.

The repairman’s verdict? A dead compressor. But the real diagnosis... it was Built to Break.

Under the guise of "green" regulations and "energy efficiency," we’ve traded tanks that lasted thirty years for plastic-heavy shells that barely last five.

We are forced to pay a premium for "high-efficiency" tech that saves ten cents a month on electricity, only to be told to throw the whole $1,500 + unit into a landfill when a single internal component fails.

It’s a racket. The government mandates the specs, the manufacturers cut the quality, and the consumer is left holding a bag of spoiled milk. We don’t own appliances anymore; we just lease them from the scrap yard.

@DrFrankTurek O Holy Night

If you read Wikipedia, you are told that Trump is a fascist.

But bizarrely, if you look up dictator Raul Castro (who oppressed Cuba after his brother Fidel died) there’s “not one mention of the term authoritarian,” points out @ashleyrindsberg.

More examples of Wiki bias here:

@greta IMHO. No one should buy a condo. Ever. Today’s condos are tomorrow’s financial liability. A condo will be as hard to get rid of as a timeshare.

@greta Me, too, Greta.

The harms outweigh the benefits of enabling HOA and COA boards to fine their neighbors and co-owners.

Hurricane Erin exploded in strength to a Category 5 storm in the Caribbean on Saturday, rapidly powering up from a tropical storm in a single day, the National Hurricane Center said. https://t.co/0muZ69vgRh

@DrFrankTurek Yes. I am on my second Bible in a Year plan.

[Deborah Goonan @ Independent American Communities @IndependentAmCo]

@DrFrankTurek You contend that God creates people He knows will never become believers. But not because of determinism (lack of human free will to choose), rather as a byproduct of His foreknowledge and foresight. Do I understand your stance accurately?

Now what about babies & children?

🚨🚨HO LEE, FAK🚨🚨

New data shows the new build Toronto condo market is in SEVERE DISTRESS

New Toronto condo sales down to all time lows

only 131 units sold in Q2

Unsold inventory totalled 24,045 units, despite record project cancellations! GET OUT!

[Deborah Goonan @ Independent American Communities @IndependentAmCo]

@ShellyCanuck Sure they are. But I firmly believe that,ultimately, they will not succeed in keeping the HOA institution alive.

[Deborah Goonan @ Independent American Communities @IndependentAmCo]

The ultimate solution to HOA problems, in my view, is gradually eliminating and replacing HOAs with independent ownership in traditional neighborhoods.

Is Florida’s condo market slump just the tip of the iceberg?
