Dear Florida
Homeowner and Condo Owners;
I hope you and your families had a great
Thanksgiving! Celebrations were a little
limited but we all just had to make the
best of it! The good news: Distribution
of the vaccine is on the horizon --
meaning an end to the Chinese Virus
Pandemic.
An attorney calling everybody and then
some a racist is again playing the race
card.Obviously his legal knowledge is
pretty limited, otherwise he would know
that CC&Rs of an HOA can seriously limit
the constitutional right of free speech.
Obviously he thinks he is the successor
of Al Sharpton -- screaming makes
everything right. It was not the flag
the HOA was complaining about, it was
the way it was displayed. But that
obviously doesn't matter when playing
the race-card.
In recent weeks I read about serious
problems in the media and received
e-mails from owners complaining about
one management company: First
Residential Service (former
Continental). But what's new. They may
have changed their name, but they
obviously didn't change the way they
operate. I still think that management
companies should be responsible for
their actions and not get away with the
so-called Nuremberg Defense: THE
BOARD TOLD US TO DO IT! It
didn't work in Nuremberg, but it
obviously works with the DBPR. And I
understand why the attorney wanted to be
quoted anonymously: He should have
caught the fact that condos are not
regulated by FS 720.
Experts are discussing a possible wave
of foreclosures next year. I have to
agree. The signs are all in favor of
financial problems. A relief bill will
not be forthcoming as long as Pelosi and
the Dems are trying to bail out bankrupt
cities under the cover of COVID -Relief.
I don't think the election changed
anybody's mind in Washington. Then add
to it that the $15 minimum- wage bill
passed here in Florida. TRat will add
even more unemployed folks to the
already long list. I lived in California
when the government raised the
minimum-wage by $2: Businesses let many
people go -- especially in low-paying
jobs -- and expected the "lucky ones" to
pick up the workload of the folks they
had to let go. And students had a hard
time finding jobs. Is that what was
intended when they put this amendment on
the ballot?
This week we are blogging about "GIVING
THANKS!" Is there a lot to be
thankful for? I think it very much
depends on your personal point. But
always remember: Positive Thinking is
good for your health. Please read my
blog posted yesterday: "LOTS TO BE
THANKFUL FOR?"

MASK FINE: Palmetto
Place Condo Owner Fined $5100, She Says It’s
Illegal
A Boca Raton Realtor who is selling
her home in Palmetto Place — a
large, upscale condominium building
near Mizner Park — is fighting a
$5100 fine she received for not
wearing a mask in the building.
Bobbi Engelke tells BocaNewsNow.com
that the fine appeared on her
estoppel statement which she just
received as she prepares to sell her
unit. The alleged violation occurred
in late spring. “The condo
association is doing all this
contrary to the Florida statute, to
the Governor’s executive order and
to the Palm Beach County emergency
order” Engelke told BocaNewsNow.com.

Homeowner sues over
HOA’s order to remove BLM flag
Antoine Mickel has lived in his Arlington
neighborhood near Kernan and Atlantic for over
20 years. It’s peaceful and each house has its
own unique modern style. Some homeowners express
their views through the flag that flies on their
homes, so Mickel didn’t understand why he got a
letter from his homeowners association more than
a month ago telling him to remove his Black
Lives Matter flag. |

Foreclosure filings likely to hit Palm Beach
County homeowners next year if unemployment
persists, experts say
http://www.ccfj.net/ForeclToHit.htm
The phones aren’t ringing, foreclosure defense
attorneys say. The mortgage defaults aren’t
happening, analysts agree. But don’t get
complacent, they warn. In a year, the
pandemic-induced recession could lead to massive
foreclosures in Palm Beach County.“Judgment day
is coming,” said Gary Nagle, a Juno Beach lawyer
and attorney for the Palm Beach Board of
Realtors. |
One man holds key to millions
for residents of downtown high-rise condo

They nearly pulled it off. After four years of
courtroom battles, three groups of long-warring
players were ready to set aside their
differences. Leisure Resorts, the longtime owner
of the Palm Harbor Marina, which catered to some
of the largest, most expensive yachts in the
world, had been hamstrung by lawsuits for years
and wanted peace. The city of West Palm Beach,
which since the 1970s had leased the waterfront
land for a 132-unit condominium tower and the
marina, had been smarting from legal discoveries
exposing past slip-ups and would be happy if its
potential legal exposure would go away. |
Jacksonville
neighbors demand shutdown of 2 problem motels
and more police
The signs were held high Monday morning by
people demanding change on a short stretch of
Harts Road that's seen seven fatal shootings at
or near two motels this year, the latest one on
Saturday. They joined City Council members and
other community leaders in a new effort to close
the Gold Rush Inn and River City Inn after that
and other violence occurred at the gateway to
their neighborhoods. |
