You might be wondering who manages the neighborhood’s Facebook page. This page, ostensibly set up to share updates and foster community engagement, has unfortunately been weaponized by previous presidents and officers of the homeowners association (HOA) to target and defame various members of the neighborhood. Instead of serving as a platform for unity and constructive communication, it has often become a tool for libel, harassment, and unnecessary drama.
Despite paying their HOA dues with the expectation of receiving essential services and support, many homeowners have instead found themselves at odds with an association that seems more intent on creating problems than solving them. According to the “About” section of the HOA Facebook page, the page is owned and managed by Michael Hites, who currently serves as the president of the HOA.
Hites has been a controversial figure in the community
Hites has been a controversial figure in the community, drawing criticism for his heavy-handed approach to managing the neighborhood. He has earned the reputation of being the HOA’s “enforcer,” a title that reflects his alleged pattern of calling the police, city officials, and other government agencies to report fellow homeowners for perceived violations. These actions, many argue, are less about ensuring compliance with HOA rules and more about creating an environment of fear and control.
Residents have shared stories of feeling unfairly targeted by Hites, with some describing how minor infractions were escalated unnecessarily, leading to punitive measures. Others have criticized the HOA’s use of the Facebook page as a platform for public shaming, with posts calling out specific individuals for alleged rule-breaking or non-compliance. Instead of resolving disputes privately and respectfully, these public posts have further divided the community and created an atmosphere of distrust.
For homeowners in the neighborhood, this misuse of the Facebook page—and the HOA’s general approach to governance—has become a significant point of contention. Many are left questioning how their HOA dues are being used and whether the association is truly acting in the best interest of the community. The actions of Hites and other officers have sparked conversations about the need for reform within the HOA and the possibility of electing new leadership that prioritizes transparency, fairness, and fostering a positive community spirit.
