My response to CAI’s statement below is simple: “Facts are the enemy of truth” (Man of La Mancha play, Cervantes). With all the gall CAI tells GEICO to seek the truth and read its Satisfaction Surveys and see how much HOAs are beloved.
I am forwarding my Restoring the Lost Constitution To HOA-Land collection of publications and allow GEICO to make an informed decision.
In response to GEICO Insurance’s “HOA Cynthia Advises New Neighbors” commercial, Community Associations Institute (CAI) is deeply disappointed by the company’s inaccurate portrayal of homeowners associations and the 2.5 million volunteer board members elected to serve their communities.
GEICO’s attempt at comedy about a family moving into a community association is disrespectful and insulting to the millions of volunteers and hundreds of thousands of professionals who work tirelessly and proudly to build communities people are proud and privileged to call home. Community associations, also known as condominiums, homeowners associations, and housing cooperatives, are home to 73.5 million Americans.
Learning the facts about HOA living is so easy to do, a caveman could do it. According to the 2018 Homeowner Satisfaction Survey, independently conducted by Zogby Analytics for the Foundation for Community Association Research, residents in associations are overwhelmingly in support of their community association experience, manager and elected board members.
These are the facts and not the easy, stereotypical and condescending messages designed to get a cheap chuckle.
CAI invites GEICO to take 15 minutes to discuss the value of community associations and how they bring people together, strengthen neighborly bonds, and promote a sense of belonging—especially now.

HOA Constitutional Government 
HOA and Condo assn are foolish to give their hard earned money to these people that just sit there and collect it.
This post appears on several Facebook sites: Chaps Paladins, Restructuring HOAs and GEICO (select only GEICO link). I hope GEICO responds.
Since my lawsuit sits in the Indiana Supreme Court I think this makes me an expert on all things HOA. I would love to debate the “experts”, super lawyers ( I won my case Pro se against a “super firm” (more like super xxx corrupt firm))! All of us Citizens that are just trying to live our lives and protect our families SHALL fight back with fury and facts! The Main Street Managements of the world must be exposed for all the wrongs they have committed against those just wanting a better way of life. Their jealousy guides their hate filled hearts and CAI behaves like the Mob Boss to them all! – CAI, Community Antifa International
Right on!
Thanks for sharing. I agree with you.
Found it. Here’s the link to CAI’s GEICO statement:

George, Do you have a link for the CAI statement about the GEICO video? I can’t find the statement anywhere (except here). Thanks.
