According to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) report, a 30-year-old Holiday man was driving a Buick Century eastbound on Plathe Road at about 10:05 p.m.

The report stated that a 58-year-old New Port Richey man was walking in or across the roadway east of Acropolis Lane when he was struck by the Buick.

The victim was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
