HOBB’s cover story, did I read that right? The highly efficient and cost saving arbitration process that replaces the real justice system seemed to be nothing more than an expensive warranty enforcement system. It was not a real justice system, and even went on to block actual justice.

I directly relate to that story in that consequential damages destroyed my property, home, and health. For some reason, when a home builder causes damages though negligence, common legal rights are nullified or unenforceable. I really feel bad for the DR Horton victims. We are practically related by our experiences, as I know thousands also are.

Something I just added to my website yesterday is about this sort of warped justice. I keep seeing the same BS builder comments statically justifying these kinds of homebuyer nightmares year after year. I used my builder’s name, but you can easily plug in your own builder and how justice works for victims. It should be nonsensical, but tell me it’s not true.


Quote
The Homebuilder Rationalization Theory
You're driving along a back road, business as usual. You get distracted just for a second, and your car veers off the road a little. By accident, you happen to hit someone walking along the side of the road. By law you have to stop, if ethics alone aren't a factor in deciding what you should do. You should try to render aid if needed, or seek help if the person you hit was seriously injured. You are liable for the injuries you caused, even if what happened was totally unintentional.

NOW, if you're Ryan Homes, this works a little differently. If you were hit by accident by Ryan Homes, they may stop and see if you're injured, but it's at their discretion. The may render assistance, based upon their determination of their responsibility. By their law, accountability is optional. If they should weigh the situation and decide your injuries are too costly, they will leave you on the side of the road. If you complain about this later, they will site how many other people they did not accidently hit that were walking along the roads they drive on. This will statistically nullify your condition as a victim, in their view.

After all, every home builder nails pedestrians from time to time, but considering how many pedestrians there are, it's only fair that these occasional mishaps should be overlooked. So next time you're the victim of a hit and run accident (or builder mistake) consider this. Whoever hit you probably almost never drives on the sidewalk. So just get over it.

find out, that if you complain you will be PUNISH.This is the truth, this is part of
My story.HOPE ONE THIS DAY GOD WILL PUNISH DR.HORTON TO THE FULLEST OF THE PUNISHMENT.DR.HORTON WILL NEVER,NEVER DRAG ME IN A LEGAL
BATTLE ,I WILL TELL ANYBODY THAT I KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM

Sounds like you've gone through a lot of misery over Dr. Horton's profit scheme. I hear from time to time people say they turn thier injustice over to God where all things will one day be made right, and by my personal belief I find real merit and respect for that. It's all you can do sometimes.

But I also think of a story I heard a preacher tell long ago; about a woman who had a home in what was probably a lower end neighborhood. A strip club was built near her home, and her neighborhood became riddled with crime with deplorable characters always roaming the street at night. She prayed and prayed that God would shut down this immoral establishment and clean up her neighborhood.

One day another woman also anchored in faith moved into her neighborhood, and the two of them got together about this problem. They joined in prayer in the belief two voices are exponentially stronger in prayer.

Sure enough, that very night, the strip club miraculously burned to the ground. The first woman thanked God over and over for the miracle, and then she went to the woman who had joined her in her prayer and told her about the miracle they had just created together through God and prayer.

The woman said "Yes, praise God indeed! And, by the way, that night after we prayed, I went and set that strip club on fire."

Not to say that people should solve things this way as a rule, but having faith is great. Acting in faith is often where miracles happen.
