- South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) considers abolishing HOAs statewide due to rising fees, lawsuits, and arrests.
- Porras calls HOAs a 'failed experiment,' citing mismanagement and lack of community benefit despite high monthly fees.
- Residents in Tampa and Palm Beach County report financial strain from HOA legal battles and high dues.
- Extreme enforcement cases include arrests over brown grass and foreclosure threats over house paint disputes.
- Approximately 9.5 million Floridians live in HOA communities, making abolition a significant political and legal challenge.
- Porras suggests single-family HOAs have lost their purpose, while condominiums present a more complex case for reform.
