I want to make it clear from the inception of this blog o’ mine that, of course, I contacted an attorney for a consultation about my “HOA situation”. This is what I was told nearly verbatim:

When I moved into my new house, Florida’s minimum wage was $7.25 per hour. Of course if I had been making that, I would never have been able to rent or buy a home in Hillsborough County. I would have had to live in Polk, Hernando, or the Dominican Republic—all of which I did consider at some point!
