While it is common knowledge that many people do not like involuntary membership residential associations they nonetheless believe they are a necessary evil.  For years we have been told that HOAs “Protect property values”.  That’s about as bogus as the notion of “if it hurts it has to be good for you”.

Joining us On The Commons this week is Nila Ridings.  Nila’s father had warned her about HOAs and had advised her to never buy a unit in one.  She learned the hard way why he was no fan of them.  Join us as she debunks the myth of protecting property values, strips the top layer off the outer shell of the units to expose the crumbling structure of “common” housing and tells us what it took to codify a homeowner bill of rights in Kansas.
