Las Vegas is a hotbed of common interest communities, neighborhoods that are governed by codes, regulations and private boards. These homeowners associations can be vexing at times, and even corrupted by members with criminal intentions. So how do you know if your association is well-run? And what can you do if you suspect something unseemly is going on behind closed doors? We'll talk with experts on HOAs to find out what you can do to make your community work for you.
GUESTS
Kara Jenkins, Ombudsman for Common Interest Communities
Evan McKenzie, law professor and author, Privatopia and Beyond Privatopia
Rana Goodman, Chairwoman, Nevada Homeowner Alliance
Paul Terry, Past President of the Community Association

I live in an Illinois HOA and I am sick of the comments stating that Homeowners don't get involved. Ask yourself why? The contracts as some would call it that you sign are not fully agreed by the owners, they are never told their rights are taken away, or they would never sign. This is a great system at work to make money off the owners, by double taxation, without their knowledge. Contracts are to be signed & agreed by two parties. The documents are ever changing, certainly. Funny how rules can be passed and never recorded but somehow still enforce. This association has not had a quorum since it's inception until 2010 - does that mean business that has cost homeowners Thousands annually has been done illegally? Are board members then legal to conduct business? When you speak at board meetings you are called Naysayers and you don't care about the community. really! Residents who speak out are harassed and fined frivolously. One Board member cant make changes when 6 out of the 7 are lifers and do not want change. Residents have attended meetings and have gotten nowhere, a complete waste of time. You can show proof, hand in your petitions and guess what? They don't care.

Numerosity does not equate to popularity regardless of whether you are talking about cockroaches, epidemics, or HOAs.
Those "national surveys" are nothing but propaganda from Community Associations Institute - the trade lobby group for HOA management companies and HOA attorneys. The reality is that HOA burdened properties are terrible for everyone except perhaps the board members. Board members are an extreme minority of all homeowners living in the subdivision. A large percentage of the population has no choice but to live in HOA-burdened housing because that is all that governmental bodies have been allowing to be built for decades.
