So the HOA can order some crew to destroy an inhabited, historical victorian house (so no small shed...), without proving ownership? Without written warnings? And when the owner intervenes, the destructions just continues? And when the police arrives, the destruction still continues, even while the owners talks with the police?In which universe, if I may ask...? And the owner fetches the papers from the house, while it is still being demolished, or what? Really!?
In a lot of cases, you can have the workers going, "Look, I don't give a fuck . I'm being paid to do X, I'm going to do X, your dispute is not my fucking job, and you can take it up with the person who hired me."
First story is a sad ass lie the crew would have stopped and the police would have shut it down quickly instead of letting them keep destroying the house
Depends on the location and "power" of the HOA. I could see that they might have initially sided with the HOA and then later be forced to side with the homeowner.
@@Gilhelmi Yes but the police coming over, and issuing a stop work order, means the demo crew doing anything would mean they would immediately be in handcuffs, in a squad car, and charged with failing to obey a lawful command from a law officer. Then if HOA karen told them to carry on, she would also be in cuffs as well, there till a judge ruled on it.
@@SeanBZA I agree, that is what SHOULD have happened. But if someone has a lot of power/authority/money, things don't always go that way. As for the permits............. same thing.
If the first story was real, she would have been immediately arrested and the crew would not have gone forward at all..not to mention such activities demand many permits.
First story: She really thought she was over the law. Just for the fact that she ordered the demolition is straight up illegal, and she believes she can even control properties where her power trip doesn't legally apply.
The first story just outright did not happen. HOAs don’t have anywhere near that kind of power, demolition crews don’t start work unless they have all the required permits, and what…was OP’s stuff in the house while they were demolishing? It’s utter nonsense.
@@Fete_Fatale Yes listened to it, and for the other cases the house also had furniture and such in there, and they did often stop when confronted, though it was up to the owner to sue the contractor and the city, who gave them the order, for the damage. Many lost, simply because they had not enough money, at least till the media got involved, and it blew up spectacularly in the city face, with them getting every councillor sitting with outraged voters asking what they were doing about it.
First story. OP investigate if it's possible to get your house listed as a historical land site. OP you should still sue Janet for everything she owns. Sue the demolition company also.
first story the police should've stopped the destruction immediately till the issue was settled. HOA member or not OP's home pre-dated the HOA and should've been grandfathered in not to mention the various notices that are almost always mandated. Can't imagine HOA rules or not the courts would approve basically the seizure and destruction of someone's home just because it doesn't fit the neighborhood ascetic.
1 I would have literally forced the HOA to pay for the house to be restored to its original condition and 2 i would have sued the demolition company and made them pay.
First the police Should have stopped the demolition immediately when they arrived. and then sort out who has the right to do what. Also I'm sure she never remove his personal belongs from the house. So this has the earmarks of tall tale.
The 1st story about the hoa l President demolition of the Victoria era home not only is it a criminal act with jail time did she have the proper permits a good demolitions contractor would cross the Ts and dot the I s to make sure all was all is legitimate as he would also be criminality liable check out the Carlton Hotel Cricklewood northwest London
Someone destroyed a Victorian era house that I owe That I owned I would definitely have lost my temper and probably had to go to jail for the physically horrible things that I would have done to every person that was there oh man I don't know how you did that dude It's an amazing story it's so glad you got it and down with the H.O.A !!!!!
First story must be a lie. 1. Surely it'd be furnished so when it was being demolished the chairs, tables, beds etc would appear. The demoe croew wold expect the house to be empty. 2. How did the owner happen to have ownership documents on them? Who carries that for a centuries old house all the time?
Sue the HOA, The entire board, and Janet. Sue the HOW for punitive damages, and have a Permnant poisiotn with a 75% voting power over any and all HOA decision (if it still exists).
Last story: I feel sorry for the Aunt's daughter. Her mother gets her hopes up to be a flower girl and has to be taken home with an angry mom. Hope the little girl doesn't grow up to be like her mother.
Who believes that first story? I don't. I mean, some demolition crew comes along and just starts to bulldoze down a fully furnished home? What if there were pets inside? What if there had been an elderly or disabled person inside? And unless OP ran into the house while it was being torn down, HOW did he manage to have all the 'documentation' on his person? I enjoy some of these stories, but others ... (insert eye roll).
Something tells me the first story is completely made up. I know Victorian Style homes are a British style of architecture mostly found in places like Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand etc. I've never known Americans to build Victorian Style homes since HOA's are an American phenomena. To me this sounds completely like a AI generated fake story
Get better writers. There is no way in hell this could happen,even in some backwater shithole country. The second op arrived the foreman would have immediately ceased. And the hoa president would have been in cuffs and in the back of the cruiser. Again quit trying to one up other stories
Got to love all these comments about people complaining that the first story isn't real. My only question to that is: DOES IT MATTER? These stories were made with the express intention to entertain. If the fact they are fake ruins it for you, stay the f away from the fiction section of Barns & Noble
Does Barnes & Noble randomly stock fiction books with non-fiction books? Who knows what percentage these are true? But if they are alleged to be true stories, it's not unreasonable to call them out when obviously implausible. Frankly, I was relieved to realize that the first was fictional. But then why not OP use his secret superpowers to stop the bulldozer?
It does matter because these stories are presented as real, deceptive practices. And secondly, nobody goes to Barns & Noble any more, anyway. Thirdly, we are trying to wise up the people that actually believe these stories. We are educators, so STFU.
@markr.1984 No, furthermore I go to Barns & Noble. I also love how you assert that a *fictional* story has to present itself as 100% accurate. Also someone online to "STFU"? Really? What are you? 7? I don't particularly care about your meaningless justification on crapping on someone else's work. You are no educator. Lastly, NO ONE THINKS THESE STORIES ARE REAL!! Only a 5 yo would think that
The HOA should have to rebuild the house the way it was regardless if it cost millions of dollars.
So the HOA can order some crew to destroy an inhabited, historical victorian house (so no small shed...), without proving ownership? Without written warnings?

Story seems a little sus to me.
@@pattibennett8774 In this day and age, all kinds of crazy stories I would've dismissed seemed plausible
They can't. This is a made up story.
In a lot of cases, you can have the workers going, "Look, I don't give a fuck . I'm being paid to do X, I'm going to do X, your dispute is not my fucking job, and you can take it up with the person who hired me."
I would suing the sht out of the HOA, the president, and the demolition crew. And some nice prison time.
Sounds like that is what he did. Anyways he got the money to rebuild the house.
@@Fazzel he only got the HOA. I know that could be enough, but I believe in Vengeance
@@gregorycarter2835 - Yeah They all sound too similar.. It's like there is a template for rogue HOA president stories.
@@Fazzel at least this time it wasn't the farmer who's been there for several generations

Cops would have asked for the permits. Cops and work crew would have seen the house was full of personal belongings. Lots of fiction in this story.
@@SeanBZA I agree, that is what SHOULD have happened.

@@gregorycarter2835 why is always someone who loves to spoil the fun? Of course I know. Just let me enjoy it.
@gregorycarter2835 Every party needs a pooper, that's why they invited you. Party pooper.... party pooper
First story! BS! Any homeowner would have stood in front of the dozer. They would have stopped!
not only that but the company would have stopped as soon as the police got there. continuing with open them up for a lawsuit as well.
Not the first time the HOA overstepped their bounds.
The first story just outright did not happen. HOAs don’t have anywhere near that kind of power, demolition crews don’t start work unless they have all the required permits, and what…was OP’s stuff in the house while they were demolishing? It’s utter nonsense.
There are plenty of times a demo crew did the wrong house, and had no paperwork, or wrong address.
@@SeanBZA ... and this aint that. Did you not listen to the same story everyone else did?
@@Fete_Fatale Yes listened to it, and for the other cases the house also had furniture and such in there, and they did often stop when confronted, though it was up to the owner to sue the contractor and the city, who gave them the order, for the damage.

Demolition crew should be inclued in the lawsuit for not stopping when the legal owner AND the police said "stop".

that bit.. would get a body bag from me, AFTER SHE PAYD ME
1 I would have literally forced the HOA to pay for the house to be restored to its original condition and 2 i would have sued the demolition company and made them pay.
It would take years to rebuild the house Victorian style. Finding the workmen's hard to do that type of work and it would cost an absolute fortun
No
Great job and good luck 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
First the police Should have stopped the demolition immediately when they arrived. and then sort out who has the right to do what. Also I'm sure she never remove his personal belongs from the house. So this has the earmarks of tall tale.
