Unusual HOA:   Spruce Creek Fly-in Community ▶Posted in triplicate (a Trilogy ) around these # ALTACITIES  and our  Flipboard  magazines, the following # SocialCurrentSee archive is a timely sequel to the allied posts on our NEXTDOOR Trilogy message board. http://www.nomorobo.com STOP ROBO CALLS! Very few common interest developments (aka HOAs ) in the USA come with a landing strip like the one shown above. As amenities for HOAs generally go, a community golf course or a fitness center may be the typical luxury, not a private plane landing strip?  The clips and links below reveal some truth in the old adage (here paraphrased): "The more you add to your home purchase, the more that can go wrong!" According to CAIRF , Florida leads the nation with about 50,000* HOAs where in excess of 8 million* residents live, topping the nation in both categories. (*2016 estimates) This location is the Spruce Creek Fly-in Community   near Daytona Beach,...

The democratic experience (self-governance) has never been without tension and argument between those who govern (elected officials) and those who are governed (the people).  No where is this reality more evident today than in the private governments we call common interest developments (or HOAs, or homeowner associations).  The founding fathers of the United States, and those who followed in leadership, frequently talk about the imperfect union.  That is the very attribute that sparks the following post.

Conflicts between members (homeowners) and HOA boards over excessive restrictions or the unfair enforcement of CC&Rs is legendary in common interest developments (CIDs). In California, the state with the second highest number of HOAs (just behind Florida), these enforcement policies are being tested by the long-running California drought. The 'social current see' that follows details some examples of this conflict.
