Update: Landowner returns after 3 years to tell the story of how they defeated a backstabbing HOA and land developer

What are you to do when you purchase something only to have the terms of sale retroactively changed by a governing association? Oh, and that governing association is controlled by the organization that sold you the thing in the first place. Well, lawyer up and hit them with a strongly worded email letting them know just angry you are.

After a three-year hiatus, this landowner returned to share the grippingly realistic tale of how they managed to defeat a land developer and HOA who had changed the terms of sale after they had purchased their lot. This story may not end with a fund-siphoning, power-tripping, fraudulent HOA board member getting ousted—and the whole HOA disbanded… but it does strike a few chords of realism that these stories seldom manage to.

Keep reading for this two-parter. The original thread is items #2-14 and the recent update is items #15-26.
