Conservatives Scoff At Obama's Birth Control Shift
Conchita Sarnoff: Regulating Modeling Agencies to Help Prevent Child…
A group of elderly people at a retirement community in Florida are waging a mighty battle to evict a 6-year-old who lives on the property. (It's just as we've always suspected -- old people hate kids! All those hard candies and glasses of milk were nothing but LIES!)The homeowner's association for the community has established rules that don't allow anybody under the age of 55 to live, and now a 6-year old girl who was sent to live with her grandparents is facing eviction. Not the grandparents -- just the girl. Kimberly Stottler was sent to live with them as a baby because her mother has a drug problem. Now she's facing being shipped off to foster care if a judge rules that she has to go. Her grandparents have been trying to sell their house so they can move, but they put it on the market just before it crashed, and they still haven't sold it despite dropping the price almost $100,000.
We understand -- they don't want plastic toys marring their rock lawns, but come on, breaking up a family? Are their arteries so hardened with plaque that their hearts no longer work?

They signed the contract for the house realizing the rules. yeah, it sucks, but there is no excuse for a breach of contract.

I too live in a 55 and over community and had a 4 yr old live w me for awhile. The difference between us is that I didn't have her from birth and you did. You should see about having her "grandfather"ered in since she has been w you
6 years and they are just now complaining. They don't want to lose their 55 and over status..and that is all well and good. Get a good atty. and fight for the rights of the child...she is worth it. believe me. We kept our gchild w us until the mom got out of jail. she had no other place to go..it was a year and they had attys but we stuck to our "guns" and there wasn't anything they could do as we owned our condo and other than having her w us, weren't breaking any rules!!!!! look into all the regs.... good luck to you

The Grandparents are trying to sell; to me this means this has been a long standing argument between them and the home owners association.
They signed the contract no one under 55; as cold hearted as it sounds, I am on the side of the homeowners association. why should the wants of the one family out-weigh the rights all the other contract abiding people?
Yes noone expected this to happen, but it did. Solution, the Home owners association buy out the couple so they can move. Rent the home to 55+ couple to recoup thier money until it can sell.
Or the judge can rule the contract as invalid, piss off everyone, then one by one the neighborhood will be over run with hip hop thumping boombox cars owned by the grandkids of 'another' couple..
Yes I am onthe side of the home owners association.

The grandparents signed the contract not knowing that the granddaughter would be coming to live with them . So there was no intentional breach of contract only an emergency situation where they had no other choice to take in thier grandaughter or let her get lost in an overcrowded system.
The grandparents have tried to sell thier house so they are doing thier best to comply with the demand. However expecting them to give up thier grandaughter because they''ve been unable to move is incredibly harsh.
The homeowner's association.needs to come up with a solution like buying them out or let the matter rest .As long as the grandparents are actively trying to see they are complying with the edict.

The question here should be this. Is the exclusionary clause(s) built into the HOA's CC&R that forbids a person under the age of 55 a violation of public policy. That is, can you legally exclude a class of people from buying, owning, or occupying property.
Sadly the answer is yes. As long as the exclusionary clause does not cross the race or ethnic origins line, you can legally exclude folks. What a sad society that we live in.

My Grandpa lives in one of those gated communities (I assume this is the same deal). It's fucking nuts. Anybody would lose perspective being so cut off from reality. The isolation, Fox News, and old people racism coalesce into a perfect storm of intolerance. I love my Grandpa, but don't ever get him started on The Mexicans.
