PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 20, 2013 - Corruption. Embezzlement. Violence. Foreclosure.

What you need to know about the new suburban paradise.


George Polk Award-winning investigative reporter Ward Lucas pulls back the lace curtain with Neighbors at War! The Creepy Case Against Your Homeowner’s Association.

TROY, N.Y. – February 18, 2013 – The lush green lawns. The well-manicured shrubs. The perfectly spaced driveways. It seems like a suburban paradise, but it’s not.

With Neighbors at War! The Creepy Case Against Your Homeowner’s Association (Hogback Publishing, 978-0-9856978-0-8, $25), award-winning anchorman and investigative reporter Ward Lucas pulls back the lace curtain to reveal the shocking truth of what’s going on in America’s subdivisions.

Did you know that, Lucas asks, that when you joined your HOA you essentially surrendered all of your rights under the U.S. Constitution? Did you that when you joined your HOA, you essentially took all your home equity, your retirement savings, your future pension
and put them in a common pool with your neighbors? Did you know that when you joined your HOA you essentially stepped out of one form of government and into another?

Did you know that Ward Lucas has more than 40 years of experience in the investigative field, and a shelf packed with more than 70 awards to prove it?  He was the first reporter to cover major stories like the D.B. Cooper hijacking and the Ted Bundy murders.

He says the misdeeds of HOA boards are the latest American crime wave, and much of their work is supported by high court decisions.

Corruption. Embezzlement. Violence. Foreclosure. Lucas covers it all, from a single mom losing her house for inadvertently underpaying her annual dues by 78 cents to a neighborhood manager ordering workers to poison a homeowner's pets.

Lucas says that while HOAs were theoretically created to protect property values, there is strong incentive for HOA board officers to "go rogue," abusing fellow homeowners emotionally, economically and sometimes physically. When that happens, he says, neighborhoods are torn apart, property values plummet and lives are ruined.

Your freedom is at risk. Your Constitutional rights are being shredded. Neighbors at War! tells you why. More importantly, it tells you how to fight back and protect yourself, your family and your finances.
