How long will HOA issues stay hot in the media?
Fred Pilot and I have been e-mailing back and forth on this issue. Some issues seem to have their day in the sun and then vanish. Remember the tsunami of coverage of the amazing secret invention code-named "Ginger" that turned out to be a two-wheeled thing with a handle that you stand on and ride around at 5 mph? President Bush fell off one, as I recall. Haven't seen many stories about that world-shaking invention recently--and haven't seen any of the thingies themselves, which are called "Segways." On the other hand, other issues are perennials, like crime, war, and anything else that involves conflict. As the saying goes, if it bleeds it leads. So--will the HOA issue be a Segway or a bleeding lead? I'd be interested in what people think on this.
