Residents of the Willoughby subdivision were invoiced in August for dues to a homeowners association that many did not know existed. … I’m wondering what, if any, impact this case could have : A Chesterfield County Circuit Court judge has found in favor of Romito, who sued his neighborhood’s homeowners association claiming he shouldn’t be forced to pay membership dues because he never wanted to be a member. … Gill Jr. affirmed that, noting that the dues were not in place 20 years ago whenRomito purchased his home in Bexley — an upscale Chesterfield community of 407 homes built in the 1970s. “To say a taxpaying citizen could buy a home and then be forced to incur financial obligations without prior notice is simply unjust,” Gill wrote in the ruling.

Charlottesville and Albemarle Need to Stabilize Population?
ASAP says their research at this point is still insufficient to identify a specific optimal population for the community. However, faced with a limited supply of natural resources, Marshall said housing is the key piece of community infrastructure that needs to be limited to reduce demand.
I’m sure that Fluvanna, Greene, Nelson, Louisa and the other surrounding counties would love to have Charlottesville/Albemarle place caps on housing starts. … CharlAlbemarle would then have traffic coming into the urban ring without the benefit of property taxes (which don’t cover the cost of housing). – How does one define “optimum population” and what are the consequences for exceeding said optimum population ? – Maybe we could also institute congestion pricing as they have in London (really not a bad idea) instead of a moat. – Would we restrict services to residents if they weren’t in the urban ring and didn’t pay a fire or rescue fee ?

It’s a shame that it’s taken the mortgage mess to get them to work together . Top legal officers of all 50 states opened a joint investigation into home foreclosures, saying they will seek an immediate halt to any improper practices at banks and mortgage companies.
…Ken Cuccinelli (R) said of the investigation: “Obviously, this issue affects peoples’ homes as well as the economy This probe will be thorough, expeditious, and fair to both homeowners and lenders.” … Bluntly, no one knows how this will play out, and our market doesn’t need any more uncertainty.
