					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Vibrant and bustling, Somerville has everything city dwellers love, want or need
&nbsp;within walking distance of their own front doors. But with friendly neighborhoods and a strong
&nbsp;sense of community pride, it&#8217;s as welcoming as any small town in the state of Massachusetts.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;When Marjorie Kehe moved from New York to Boston in 2003, she brought a
&nbsp;roommate: her black border-collie mix, Sheba. While no stranger to urban
&nbsp;living, Kehe was taken aback at how few Massachusetts landlords would even
&nbsp;consider the 25-pound dog.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;While the election format in a condominium community is pretty much the same as
&nbsp;for any other club or organization, property managers and board members are
&nbsp;looking to make the process easier and increase unit owner participation. Unit
&nbsp;owner participation, in particular, can be a challenge as some condos find it
&nbsp;hard to get enough members for a quorum at their annual meetings.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;As the lingering effects of the &ldquo;Great Recession&rdquo; continue to influence the lives of countless average Americans, more and more
&nbsp;displaced workers are turning to home-based businesses (HBBs) in an attempt to
&nbsp;reverse sagging fortunes.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;As a condo owner, you&rsquo;ve got a gripe. Whether it&rsquo;s about Mrs. Smith&rsquo;s poodle who barks all day or the neighbor&rsquo;s teenaged son who blasts his Guns N&rsquo; Roses music when his parents aren&rsquo;t home, you just want someone to listen and, of course, do something about your
&nbsp;complaint.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Being elected to the condo board inserts a divisive quality into one&rsquo;s relationship with their neighbors. While still a unit owner, subject to the
&nbsp;same rules, regulations and responsibilities, a board member has made a
&nbsp;commitment to the larger community. So, when neighbors and friends fail to meet
&nbsp;their obligations, flouting the rules or falling behind on condo fees, the
&nbsp;board becomes involved. That can inject a dose of stress into any board member&rsquo;s life.

					  <description><![CDATA[Four million people visit Portland, Maine each year. But don&rsquo;t picture lobster bibs and sunburned summer tourists. The largest city in Maine
&nbsp;is not known for its fish shacks, candy stores or beaches. The center of both
&nbsp;commerce and culture in Maine, Portland is a thriving small cosmopolitan city.
&nbsp;With a world-class symphony and art museum, nationally-ranked restaurants, more than 40 languages
&nbsp;spoken in the public schools, and industries from insurance to semi-conductors,
&nbsp;Portland is an old city with a new beat.

&nbsp;been mishandled or worse yet, stolen.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;On July 1, 2010, a variety of sweeping changes to Connecticut&rsquo;s Common Interest Ownership Act will take effect, and associations throughout
&nbsp;the state will need to change the way they approach building management. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the biggest change to Connecticut condo law in 25 years,&rdquo; says attorney Adam J. Cohen, the chairman of community law with Pullman &amp; Comley in Bridgeport.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;To disclose or not to disclose? That is the question community association
&nbsp;boards wrestle with on a regular basis. If homeowners want to see the
&nbsp;association&rsquo;s financial records, should the books be open to them? What about a list of
&nbsp;owners who are in arrears with their condo fees? Or details of the current
&nbsp;snowplowing contract? Should boards let neighbors know that a registered sex
&nbsp;offender has moved into the community? What if an association employee is under
&nbsp;investigation for stealing or other criminal activity?
