As HOA members, what rights do we have to common areas? An excellent podcast. We have the exact same issue on Valkenburgh Lane

    Nothing like making a conscientious decision to buy a house without a driveway and garage then prevent your neighbors from using the HOA common areas.

    Clea needs to be removed from the board. Why is she not recusing herself from the Van Valkenburgh common area parking lawsuit?

    There is a reverse HOA parking case in Alexandria City. The outcome is always the same.
