On The Commons is a weekly radio show dedicated to discussing the many issues surrounding mandatory homeowner associations, the fastest growing form of residential housing in the nation.
Carefree living, enhanced property values, security, a sense of community, the assurance that neighborhood cars won't be parked on blocks, and that members of the development will enjoy the lifestyle of the rich and famous, all for pennies a day, are among just a few of the many promises of common ownership developments. But, what is the real motivation for building these neighborhood associations?
On The Commons this week is Ken Mahal. Ken's list of accomplishments fills volumes and he is still going strong. He is a businessman, a retired architect and land planner and was the major force and catalyst behind turning a small township in Minnesota into an incorporated city, and home to the world's largest mall, all without the benefit of common ownership. Ken's knowledge, insight and experience with planning, building and how current building norms impact the quality of life will be a real eye opener. Please join us On The Commons this Saturday, July 5, 2003. You won't want to miss it.
