PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — The US Coast Guard said a man who went missing while kayaking near Anclote Park was found safe on Tuesday.
Stephan Bungartz, 36, reportedly told officials that he dropped his phone in the water and didn't have a way to contact friends or family.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said Bungartz went missing around 4 p.m. on Monday in the Gulfview Drive area of New Port Richey.
He was last seen launching his kayak from the clubhouse just north of Anclote Park before he was found safe.
“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.
