What a year 2024 was.  Florida particularly had it tough.  Here, in our state, we not only had to deal with perhaps the most divisive election in the country’s history, buy we also had to start dealing with the fallout from the new legislation passed by our Legislature in response to the tragedy in Surfside at The Champlain Towers.

Now we’re heading into the time of the year when we all should start mellowing out a little bit.  We should stop the fights, the arguing and the bickering and we should start working together toward making it a better year ahead.  What’s to lose?

I cannot remember another time in my life where our country was so divided into two groups depending upon your party affiliation.  It’s horrible.  The truth is…….we are one group.  Neighbors.  We’re all stuck with each other, so let’s make the best of it.  Let’s be good neighbors and, in fact, let’s be thankful that many of us strive to be good neighbors and are.  Maybe if we thought of each other as neighbors and cared less about whether we have an R, or a D or an I after our name, we can make 2025 a better year.

So, I’ll start.  I want to thank all of you, my neighbors, for reading this blog for 52 weeks a year.  I want to thank my neighbors who are clients of my firm, Glazer and Sachs, PA.  I want to thank the thousands of my neighbors that come to learn in the seminars I teach.  Finally, I want to thank my neighbors who week in and week out watch the Condo Craze and HOAs podcast.

So…………to all of my neighbors, this is our last blog for the 2024 year.  So neighbors, I wish all of you a Happy Hanukah, a Merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy new year.
