Disgusting! ..... (I can still say that, right?) ......
The National Association of Realtors represents the nation’s real estate industry. While the bulk of its issues tend to deal with property management and control, the group also lobbies members of Congress and the administration on virtually every issue facing business, including health care reform, bankruptcy legislation and tax cuts. One of its biggest issues in recent years has been a move toward deregulating the financial services industry. For years, real estate agents have successfully warded off attempts by banking interests to delve into the sale and management of property. *One of the keys to the group’s success: It supports Democrats and Republicans almost equally.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics Barney Frank (D-MA) is at the top of their list. **http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/recips.php?id=D000000062&type=P&cycle=2010&sort=A&state=MA
Freedom can not ring in an oppressive society. This blog reflects thoughts, personal experiences, + several notes of interest on 'affordable' housing. What do you think of gov't financing nuisance properties? Rockland Place continues doing business as SPRING GATE APARTMENTS along Martha Drive + Hannah Way in Rockland, Mass. (shady business).

~~In My Humble Opinion~~
As American consumers, we are losing our rights and protections. When corporations and lobbyists contribute money to political campaigns, laws quietly and slowly change to favor corporations. As Americans, we deserve the right to know who we're really doing business with.
Nowadays, it's not enough to simply know a company or partnership name. Those names are too easy to come by, and too easy to change. Villains and perverts hide behind, and use, several different business names; they dba, invest, create mergers, hold shares, and partner. A business person, clerk magistrate, judge, or lawyer, with a history of unethical practices, should not be left empowered. Certain employment positions make it easier to anonymously harass, take advantage of, and even stalk individuals. Through corruption, inaccurate credit reports and light reprimands for wrongdoing, the consumer remains disempowered.
Some regulations and laws are known to aid and protect wrongdoers. For example, when twisted corporate property owners/management remain in charge of a subsidized property, they have easy access into a person's personal life and cause great harm. Liberties and protections for American consumers should always be a main focus of concern whenever any amendment is made to any regulation or law. Consumers need effective enforcements, fairness, and justice; not more loopholes in more laws to benefit the perverted.
Now, more than ever before, Americans need to remain aware. We need to have the right to know every individual's name behind every business name and affiliation, especially when a business has access to our personal information. We need to be aware of who we're really doing business with, who we further empower with our money. Without this information, we remain vulnerable. Without this, American citizens lose their right to freedom and choice.

Laundering Drug Money
Wachovia isn't the first bank to launder drug money. And, as usual, when it comes to dirty deeds committed by influential CEOs, their punishment is mild for the seriousness of the crimes committed. Wells Fargo, Wachovia and their affiliates are invested in many 'affordable' HUD-subsidized housing complexes where cocaine and other drugs are frequently sold.
*http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-29/banks-financing-mexico-s-drug-cartels-admitted-in-wells-fargo-s-u-s-deal.html
Though 'affordable' housing complexes or HUD-financed projects are known for drug distribution, I didn't realize I lived in such a place until after I reported an assault on their darkened multi-family property in Rockland, Massachusetts. I had no idea one of the punks in the drug gang was a police officer's son, who was previously involved in a murder. Upon my reporting the incident to authorities, the response of the subsidized corporate property manager and local police was peculiar. And, to make a very long story short, the manager from Cornerstone Corp. insisted she could do whatever she wanted to do.
Mr. Paul Rhuda from Cornerstone falsely accused me of slandering him all over the internet at a rent increase meeting; representatives and employees from this same corporation caused at least one of the fires inside my apartment and was later promoted; they had much of my personal property destroyed and stolen; threatened to ruin my credit history; and made my life hell in various ways for at least 10-years. It's no coincidence that there are other good tenants in other 'affordable housing' complexes with similar experiences, i.e. RoxSe Homes, Lincoln Village, Clarendon Hill Towers, Mass.

The SpringGate Shuttle?
New towing notices were posted in the first floor hallways of the SpringGate Apartment buildings, June 10, 2011. A copy of the 'private property' tow notice mysteriously vanished from this blog within 1-week of its posting. Therefore, here's a description of Management's most recent towing notice.... (It shows a picture of a colorful truck towing a car and reads): Private Parking, No Overnight Parking without a Resident Sticker. Between the Hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., violators will be towed at vehicle owner's expenses. Towing Company: Joel's Auto Transport, Phone 1-508-378-7831, Joel Barchard
Anyway, one regular tow truck and one longbed transport vehicle appeared within 14-hours of Management's posted tow notice. When the newest tow company 'Joel's Auto Transport' began to tow one of the parked vehicles, an upset person on the HUD-financed property approached the driver. Rockland Police were called and the price was negotiated for a drop.
Rockland Place dba SpringGate Apartments dba Rockland Self-Storage is most definitely an unfairly operated 'affordable housing' complex. Lease agreements, pet and parking policies don't necessarily apply to those privileged households.
Wondering what happened to the previously hired and unlicensed Firehouse Towing. Did Joel's Auto Transport tow them away? And, what about Mike's Towing?

Unethical Spectacles
Are you being harrassed by call centers, law firms, debt collectors, or corporations? It's true; some unethical people in powerful positions are extremely abusive and deceptive. Whether they're doing vengeful favors for their corporate affiliates, greedy, or just take great pleasure in abusing their power, some of their illegal practices have been uncovered. *In the near future, we plan to post information in regard to some of these reprimanded law firms, appointed court personnel, and abusive corporations on record. Perhaps you'll notice some of the same CEOs or employees associated with other business listings or titles.
Why are these parties, including white collar criminals, allowed to remain in business? *Does the punishment they receive actually fit their repetitive crimes against vulnerable people and society? Couldn't a political campaign contribution serve the same purpose as a bribe? Why are abusive people allowed to keep their appointed and powerful positions? Are some financial corporations really too big to fail?
If you have any additional stories you'd like to share with this blogger, please drop an email. In the meantime, it might be of benefit for all consumers to take some action and visit the following site: http://naca.dev.networkats.com/legislative-advocacy

FRUSTRATIONS of a FAILED SYSTEM
Once again, lightning strikes or electrical storms are being blamed for damage to the fire alarm panel at the new and improved Rockland Place dba SpringGate Apartment complex in Rockland, Mass. Could this possibly be another insurance claim or perhaps another kickback scheme? (beep! beep!)
When corporations and newly-formed partnerships received billions of dollars in government grants for renovations, another expensive alarm system was installed in 2007. (beep!) Still, SpringGate residents have little peace of mind-- It's unsafe when a fire alarm system is repetitively compromised. It failed again on the evening of June 1, 2011. (beep! beep! beep!)
The following day, the 204-unit complex began another FIRE WATCH and notices were posted on main doors of apartment buildings:
As you all know, we had an electrical storm last night and the fire alarm panel has been compromised. We are working with the Rockland Fire Dept. and the fire alarm company to assess the damage. There will be a fire watch on for the night. Please call 911 in case of emergency.
Thank you,
SpringGate Management
