SCA Board Nominated for Nevada HOA Hall of Shame?
Throughout the US, many homeowners living in HOAs are claiming their Boards of Directors are dictatorial and have called for help through public media channels.
The SCA Board’s poor reputation has recently earned it exposure on the NV hoa-advocate site.

Channel 13 has also picked up on the “HOA Hall of Shame” topic. Here is a link to the site.

And, here is an example of one post to the Channel 13 message board by “homeowner advocate”:
“Some people missed the point of the HOA Hall of Shame. The purpose is to highlight the widespread abuse by HOA Boards, HOA Community Managers and their companies, Association Attorneys, Association Auditors, members of the NV Commission for Common Interest Communities and Condominiums, Real Estate Division members, developers, CAI leaders, etc.
Sure, some homeowners act badly because they are jerks or maybe because they have been treated very badly and unfairly by one or more elements of the “controlling powers” listed above. When one digs into the details of the most outrageous disputes, it is rare to find a jerky homeowner. Usually we find jerks on the boards. Sometimes it is a mystery how a poor homeowner can ever receive justice.
The NRS 116 and NAC 116 laws and rules read like they are homeowner-friendly, but the enforcement is often spotty and disputes can take many years to be resolved. One of the biggest problems is that the HOA system violates some basic principles of the American Justice System. For example, free speech and due process are not normally guaranteed to homeowners.
This outstanding effort by Channel 13 and Mr. Friedrich and others involved should be supported for doing the public a great service.”
