Also, he should be consulting with his lawyer about the two unlawful board directors. As you are aware, the HOA is having a special election to increase the number of directors from three to five. Therefore, the HOA insurance company should not protect the two unlawful board directors who wrongfully cited him for having a garden flag and string lights.

So, the people maligning Frank must be the owners with the 'free' parking spots. If I were Frank, I'd subpoena the IPs from this site and sue all of them for libel.

I used live in a condo, where we had one guy on the board who would basically object to everything for the greater good of the community. He was found to be in violation of so many bylaws, by doing shoddy repair work himself - that eventually caused flooding on an entire floor. Non-coincidentally, also MAGA like Frank. And TACO.

These f*ckwads just like to get their rocks off on making things difficult for others, unless it directly benefits them.

Usually, HOA members without full-time jobs are on the covenants or landscaping committee.

It usually is only one homeowner who sues. Most people don't have the money or time to commit, so they sit on the sidelines and let others fight the battle. Often homeowners in HOAs are completely unaware of their HOA boards are doing with their money, and the boards have a tendancy to spin information or outright lie about what they are allowed to do. Boards also have a tendancy to attack and bully anyone who speaks up or steps out of line. It's easier to keep your in the sand, or at least keep it down, if you live in an HOA.

So I guess this Frank guy is the lone righteous warrior? And everyone else is either a coward or clueless (about their $1.3 million asset)?

Why doesn’t he get on the board? Or is everyone else too cowardly and clueless to vote too?

Sure. Here’s another explanation: he’s just WRONG! And the hundreds of other residents know that the case is nonsense.

Who told your parking assignments were binding? Nobody.

You should have made this decision before you bought your ungarage town home.

People who bought these were promised a dedicated spot. And they reasonably relied on that promise. You can’t just take it from them without due process.

That's wrong. "Promises" not in writing are not legally enforceable in real estate transactions. Also, the Virginia courts have opined that since certain provisions of HOA declarations can be changed by votes of the membership, a homeowner cannot fully rely on what those provisions provide. You go into the transaction with knowledge that certain things in the declaration are subject to change - as long a proper procedures are followed.

Here's a link to 2012 Virginia Supreme Ct opinion for similar case Manchester Oaks v Batt: https://law.justia.com/cases/virginia/supreme-court/2012/111949.html Not be confused with a following 2013 bankruptcy case for Manchester Oaks.

Correct. 100%. Even worse, these owners think they can tow you for using what is a clear common area.

Paying more in HOA fees does not mean more amenities. You will never recover those HOA dues when you sell. You may have gotten something of value such as lawn/snow services, partial insurance, but the headaches are not worth it. Since amateurs are attempting to run a corporation, one can only expect terrible results.

This would be a great question for your neighbors across the street who have garages and can't use these parking spots. Your method to making him like a villain and damaging his reputation in the community doesn't seem to be working.

Why don’t you answer the question, Frank: why are you the only resident suing, if this is such an injustice? Perhaps your legal theories are faulty? But congrats on finding the one lawyer to take your case.

Are you going to publicly sell your ungarage town home or a private sale like Jay & Christine McVann did?
