According to 2024 data from the Community Association Research Foundation, almost 33.6% of U.S. homeowners currently live in neighbourhoods governed by the Homeowners Association (HOA). As more housing developments break the ground, the numbers are expected to rise. The HOA offers benefits such as shared amenities and the appeal of a maintained curb, but comes with rules and results. Whether you live in a townhome in Raleigh, North Carolina or in a gated community in Phoenix, Arizona, delaying your HOA membership fee or violating community guidelines can result in legal claims against your home.

Flora Baron had a comfortable childhood in northern Mexico, attending university and worked as an administrative assistant before marrying a successful rural veterinarian. But her husband’s business struggled when the recession forced local farmers to bankruptcy. “That’s when we came to America,” she explains. “Our plan was to come here for two years and work, save some money, then go back and open a bigger clinic.” The pair arrived on a tourist visa in late 1993 and moved temporarily with their uncle in Fort Wayne. They didn’t speak much English and became temporarily homeless when their housing arrangements fell. “It…

Along the way, the CIA poisoned the public’s trust in the integrity of government agencies by permanently using plausible negativity tools to hide its dirty work. Bribery, torture, assassinations, coups and local wars are all under an increasingly dim…
The oldest cities have the oldest homes – and too little new construction. Some people love old homes. Exposed brick, original hardwood floors, and a sense of history can instantly win buyers over. However, behind the appeal lies a growing issue: America’s housing stock is aging fast, and new construction isn’t keeping up. In 2012, the typical U.S. home was 35 years old; today, it’s 41. A slowdown in new construction brought on by the Great Recession has accelerated the aging process. Just 9% of the nation’s homes were built in the 2010s, compared to 11% that were built before…

We are pleased that co-blogger Scott Sumner has taken on one of the horrors about Penny production. His posts made me fail to post in my article about Penny’s End Mise published in Hoover in March.
