In this book, The Case Against State Protection of Homeowner Associations, the author, George K. Staropoli, reveals his naïve attempt over 3 years in Arizona to call attention to the acceptance, encouragement and defense of these private government organizations by state legislatures, state agencies such as the real estate departments, the builder and real estate agent trade groups and sadly, the media that still refuses to present both sides equally.

This book documents the harsh reality that our state governments have abdicated the values, beliefs, principles and laws that made America stand out alone as the model of good government; that special interest groups have promoted their views of this social order while hiding the other side of the coin; and that this order has been accepted by the public in general, defending their acts as “protecting their investment values in their homes” and that they are private organizations that are party to private contracts entered into voluntarily and with full knowledge of the consequences by homeowners.

Staropoli provides substantial documentation relating to violations of US and state Constitutions and statutes; US Supreme Court and Arizona and other state Supreme Court rulings directly bearing on these violations; of attitudes that reflect “better bricks and mortar” make a better America and that fundamental American values, beliefs and principles play second place to this overriding “state” objective of these planned communities. Self-interest, isolation from the larger community and conformity are the overriding values of this new societal order rapidly overtaking America.

This is must reading for anyone seeking a new home, for students of government, for political theorists and scientists, for historians, for government officials and for the judiciary. This book reveals how this “quiet innovation in housing” has undermined our American way of life and replaced it with an overriding, yet superficial and unproven concern that planned communities are the only means to enhance property values.
