One of the first pieces of news that I came across today really got my blood boiling.
Burke Jensen is a reservist living in Kennewick, Washington. He bought a house in a new housing development. Shortly after, he was called to active duty. His pregnant wife went back east to stay with family while he is deployed to Kuwait.
Now, when he moved in to this house, the rules of the Homeowners Association stated that within a year of occupying the house, he was to have the yard landscaped. He apparently paid a landscaper thousands of dollars to get this done, but that landscaper abandoned the project.
Just about every person that I know would be sympathetic to Jensen's situation and cut the guy a little slack. The owner of the subdivision is not. This is his response to Jensen's situation:
He is attempting to bring legal action against Jensen, even though the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act prevents any civil legal action from being taken against someone on active military duty overseas.
Chick Edwards sounds like a real jerk to me. I hope that he isn't able to sell another house in his sub-division and has to eat the property taxes on the empty houses forever. Why in the world would someone be such a jackass? I just don't understand this clowns attitude at all. He just seems like a pretty terrible person.

"I really don't give a [expletive] where he is or what his problem is," said Chick Edwards, owner and developer of the 47-lot subdivision at the south end of Oak Street in Kennewick.
"It doesn't matter to me," said Edwards, who insists Jensen has violated terms of the homeowners-association covenants requiring that landscaping be completed within one year after an occupancy permit is issued for a home.
"[Jensen] doesn't have the right to walk away from his obligation," said Edwards, who as the developer is the only member of the homeowners association. "I have most of the property still, so I am the homeowners association," he said.
He is attempting to bring legal action against Jensen, even though the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act prevents any civil legal action from being taken against someone on active military duty overseas.
