Trump Era lessons for HOA Reformers

Before you turnoff not wanting to hear anything involving Donald Trump, that would be  big mistake. A BIG mistake!  Trump is a model of successful power politics at work that have not been adopted by advocates.

There are two important lessons that should be employed if substantial reforms are the object.  First, Trump is noted for attacking his accusers raising the argument of unclean hands.

The legal term clean hands refers to a defense in a civil lawsuit regarding a contract, which allows a defendant (the person being sued) to claim that the plaintiff (the person suing) has engaged in wrongdoing. If the defendant is successful in proving the plaintiff had unclean hands through bad or illegal behavior, the plaintiff would not be able to obtain a remedy from the court.”

This tactic is so ripe for application against rogue HOA boards and officers, including CAI and the HOA managers.  Easily demonstrated if time is taken in the course of claims to collect this evidence for the court.  And also, when advancing proposed reform bills to your legislature – CAI will be whispering in the halls of the legislature.  Let the legislators know!

Second, and very effective, is to use CAI’s words and documents against it — there is plenty of fodder. Very difficult to explain after exposing a litany of common attitudes and hypocrisy.  Look at what Trump is facing in his numerous indictments.

What are reformers afraid of?  When getting very little anyway there is very little to lose.

I have been a long-term homeowner rights authority, advocate and author of "The HOA-Land Nation Within America" (2019) and" Establishing the New America of independent HOA principalities" (2008). See HOA Constitutional Government at http://pvtgov.org. My efforts with HOAs took me to a broader concern that was deeply affecting the constituionality of HOAs. Those broad societal and plotical concerns caused me to start this new blog for my commentaries on the State of the New America.
