OH! and forget Homeowners Insurance!
It's NOT included in our fees! WHY? Because they said they'd be saving us money. OK... not only is this UNTRUE because now we have to pay for this separately, but OUR HOA FEES ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WHEN WE DID HAVE INSURANCE!!!!!
More Issues Same Day
And a bit later this evening, the other car from the same household that parks at my door everyday yet again. AND you can see here where they have plenty of space at their own door PLUS the fact that they have a two car garage AND a driveway where they can park and should park anyway. This is the latest update today, Feb 10 @ 6:00 PM I've given you the address already per your request. These people are not even owners.
I am also installing a camera to see who is meddling and moving MY property, MY trash cans from MY property (MY driveway) to maliciously block MY exit from MY garage.
You are to uphold the safety and rules of the community and you do nothing of the kind.
Add to this that my husband has been having recurring incredible pain in his foot, which he's had EIGHT OPERATIONS ON! He can barely walk! and has to go to the doctor for this but cannot miss work. WHY do we have to put up with this crap???? If you do not believe me that he can barely walk, you can contact his job and ask there.
Why does he have to walk more than he should when these people can park at their own door or in the space that is provided in the house??? It's in the rules that people are supposed to park in their damn driveways!

OPEN LETTER
Here is another video from TODAY. Obviously nothing was done! Why should I continue to pay HOA fees if no one does anything to enforce the rules? Just asking, because I am paying for a service I am NOT getting. Last night another truck was parked overnight at my door. Today this car once again from the same people who park at my place everyday.
And about the ice-cream truck which is trespassing has anyone actually stopped to think that these people may give out information on the activity of each neighbor in the community and pass it on to someone so they can break in in broad daylight? What a perfect excuse to roam around the streets and stake out the premises. How funny that homes were broken into when the truck reappeared. I confronted them myself and he was arguing that "no soliciting" sign meant "no prostitution". With that criteria, then should we put up a sign that says "No murdering on premises"?
No trespassing means if you don't live here, you are not to come unless you have loved ones you visit, not to sell anything. No soliciting means you should not solicit business (i.e. knocking on doors or blasting music to sell your products) And I remind you that the covenant explains that there should be no business operation on premises. If we allow one truck, we'll get 100, selling all kinds of things, but again, it's US that have to do the dirty work.. so why am I not getting paid to manage this? Why do I have to pay someone who doesn't do what the covenant explains they should do?
Just so you know, and I am sure you do already, the whole neighborhood (of those who own homes) are disgusted with your service or lack thereof. I am not the only one.
You took away our home insurance to make the fees cheaper and YET they have gotten MORE expensive and we now have to pay insurance separately. What you're doing is known as fraud, and believe me, it will be stopped.
I had my cable disconnected on Feb 4 and I was up to date on the fees. I still have not had it reinstated and yes, I now have not paid Feb but the point is, you disconnected my service BEFORE the fact.

Ridiculous Overhead- No one helps
I saw an SUV with some teenagers parked ON the grass by the side of the lake at the entrance, swimming and jumping in the lake water. There is NO road to that piece of land so they had to have driven their SUV all over the grass to get to that spot to jump in the lake. I don’t even know if these people are residents. Did anyone do anything? Is it my job to call the police? I don’t think so since although I form part of the home owners, I don’t get paid like Leland, the Master, and Sutherland to manage or monitor anything.
When you go to the pool, most of the time everything is out of control; kids are diving, even their guardians dive right behind them (prior to running) in an area where it clearly states NO DIVING. Is it my (or our) job to get into an argument with a neighbor to do the right thing and stop acting like they live in a zoo? Dogs run free without leashes (Orange county regulations prohibit that by the way) animals poop everywhere and their owners aren’t polite enough to pick up after them. I’ve had my Christmas light cables cut on my own property, I’ve had my trash cans moved when they are on MY driveway and once even run over by a car. Why are people so uncivil? Can’t they pick up a trashcan that was blown away with the wind? I’ve done this dozens of times to avoid destroying someone else’s property. And why is there no control? Honestly, why do we pay HOA’s again?
Just for the record, check out this site for a gorgeous community in TN:
http://www.cameronfarms.org/faq.html
Look at:
How much are the HOA dues?
Dues are $31.00 per month. The dues can be paid monthly, quarterly or yearly. Homeowners may pay in advance as much as they like, but there is no discount prepayment.
Then look at the images of the beautiful homes on that property and exactly what the HOA’s cover.
http://www.cameronfarms.org/pool.html
What is the money used for?
The dues are used to: 1) maintain the common grounds including the pool 2) install and maintain street signs 3) to pay for liability insurance for the neighborhood and the association 4) to hire a management company to see to the day to day management of the neighborhood 5) pay for several social functions per year 6) and for any incidental expenses and improvements that are needed from time to time.
Note they have someone who manages the neighborhood on a daily basis, something which we do NOT have. If we pay over $200.00 for internet and cable, then I want to be able to get my own services and pay $30 or less since we don’t have anyone working to monitor the neighborhood, and every time we complain about something, we’re told to take care of it ourselves. Where’s my salary then?
UPDATE: At 1:18 PM today, Sept 15, 2008, I received a call from Brighthouse explaining that the service was scheduled to be reinstated on Sept 12 but instead was canceled and delayed until today. I wonder if my complaining about the absolute POOR service our HOA management had anything to do with that? This sounds like illegal activity to me.

Purpose
Our original page for the Independence Community was deleted. My understanding was the person in charge could no longer take care of it.
As a resident, I decided to put this blog up, not only as a tool but also for others to post their questions and concerns.
When we had the other page, apparently the first thing that was deleted, even before the site was taken down, was the section where everyone voiced their concerns or complaints in regards to the community or management. My goal is for our voices to be heard since after all, we are the residents and the ones who pay management[s] for "services".
Where else could we actually express ourselves?
Thank you and I will try to update this as much as possible. Meanwhile, you may leave any questions/complaints/concerns in form of a comment.
