HOA Constitutional Government - 5036

The purpose of this book is to educate the people -- the general public, the HOA members, the media, state legislators, and those learned authorities — who have been subjected to disinformation that presents a misleading view harmful to the Constitution and our democratic system of government. Unbelievable? Just look at our national politics! The HOA-Land Nation, the fragmented collection of HOAs throughout America, shows that the politics of HOA-Land are just a microcosm of the national politics threatening the Constitution and our democratic principles. The authors of How Democracies Die provide the “glue” that ties the American decay and decline in democratic norms and institutions to the quiet emergence and acceptance of private government HOA-Land. They explain that, “elected autocrats subvert democracy – packing and ‘weaponizing’ the courts and other neutral agencies, buying off the media and the private sector (or bullying them into silence), and rewriting the rules of politics to tilt the playing field against opponents. Democracy’s assassins use the very institutions of democracy — gradually, subtly, and even legally – to kill it.” * * * * The Collected Writings contained herein is a compendium of selected Commentaries posted in HOA Constitutional Government (http://pvtgov.info). There are over 1,300 posts dating back to 2004 that represent his active involvement in HOA reform legislation across the country. The selected internet posts discuss the important issues and deal with events, legislation, statutes, and state court appellate cases that came to the author's attention. The Commentaries are short, to the point, and contain related notes, references, and links to complete papers and provide authoritative documents for further study. Mr. Staropoli, author and editor is a nationally recognized homeowners rights authority and advocate for over 22 years. Since April 2000 he has testified before legislative committees in Arizona, Florida and Nevada and his opinions and views have appeared in the national and local media. He has been quoted in Private Neighborhoods and the Transformation of Local Government (2005); AARP Policy Institute Homeowners Bill of Rights proposal (2006); acknowledged as a leading advocate in the Thomson – West legal treatise, California Common Interest Developments – Homeowner’s Guide (2006); in Evan McKenzie's Beyond Privatopia (2011), and in Critical Housing Analysis (Vol. 1, Issue 1, 2019). Invited by Uniform Law Commission as an Observer participant in UCIOA revision committee, 2020. In 2011 Mr. Staropoli’s amicus curiae brief was accepted by the AZ Supreme Court in Gelb v. AZ DBFLS pertaining to the constitutionality of ALJ adjudication of HOA disputes. In 2013 he filed suit (Staropoli v. State of Arizona) against the State of Arizona for an unconstitutional bill, SB1454. The HOA portions of the bill were declared unconstitutional and invalid per the Arizona Constitution. Mr. Staropoli firmly believes that substantive HOA reforms can only be achieved by overcoming years of indoctrination that has hidden questions of the validity of the HOA legal structure, supported by state legislatures with a silent media --"no negatives about HOAs." The Collected Writings bring to the attention of the reader, in one short writing, the unbelievable depth of violations of the Constitution.
