In modern America a person does not truly ever own their own home even if they owe no mortgage on it because it can still be foreclosed on for unpaid taxes and it seems unpaid association fees as well. In America you are permanently a wage slave no matter what; pay a bill and you "owe" it again next year. So you in fact only own your own home if you can keep feeding the beasts (governments & POAs) that have legal claims against it. You just have to love the American establishment's notion of an Ownership Society, eh?

Sign of the times...
An interesting story about an Ann Arbor couple who were evicted due to their landlord's failure to pay co-op association fees was posted on Ann Arbor.com today. This is one of the reasons that these property owner's association are such a bitch. The couple who are the subject of the AA.com story were only renting from the owner of the townhouse but their predicament got me thinking.
