On the Commons: with Shu and Jan Bargeman 10/8/16

Hosted and produced by Shu Bartholomew, 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.
This Week’s Show
Have you ever wondered just where you fit into the grand scheme of our modern world?  Who makes all the decisions that affect you and your family?  How many strings are being pulled to determine the course of your life and the choices you think you are making? Think of all the layers of government authorized (or not) to adopt laws controlling almost every aspect of your life, where and how you live, what you eat, what you say and how you behave.  To help put it into perspective, imagine peeling back the layers of an onion and when you do, just like an onion, it will make you cry.

But then you console yourself with the thought that all those layers and layers are protecting you.  Are they?
Jan Bergemann joins us On The Commons.  Jan is the founder and president of the Florida based Cyber Citizens for Justice, CCFJ. Over the years Jan has worked with legislators, attorneys and homeowners trying to improve the status quo of owners in Florida’s approximately 4 million association controlled dwelling units.  It should have been simple if all those layers of governments were in fact working to protect you, wouldn’t it?  We’ll talk to Jan about Some of the major issues facing Floridians, we’ll touch on some of the stupidity that seems to be rampant in controlled America, we’ll find out just who (and how) those layers are really protecting and of course, it would not be a conversation with Jan without a trip back to Germany to compare issues on both sides of the Big Pond.  He might just have a few ideas worth thinking about.
