A Special Place: A True Account of HOA Negligence, Institutional Indifference, and Legal Failure

by Stephen Steiner

Overview

A Special Place is the true story of how an HOA, a corrupt attorney, and systemic negligence destroyed one man's health, home, and life.

About the Author

Stephen Steiner is more than a writer—he is a survivor. Born with a deep sense of creativity and determination, Stephen spent much of his life building businesses, pursuing design projects, and creating art that told stories. His condo in Palm Springs was meant to be a sanctuary, a place of memories tied to his late partner, and a symbol of the stability he had worked hard to achieve. Instead, it became the setting of a nightmare that tested the limits of his health, resilience, and trust in others.

Through years of illness, financial loss, and betrayal, Stephen refused to be silenced. His obsessive attention to detail—fueled by his OCD—allowed him to document every interaction, email, inspection, and video, creating an irrefutable record of what happened. What began as a fight to save his home became a fight to expose corruption, negligence, and betrayal at every level.

When not writing, Stephen pours his energy into creative ventures—whether launching innovative products, designing, or storytelling across mediums. He believes in art and truth as a way to fight back against injustice. A Special Place is not just his memoir—it is his demand for accountability, his testament to survival, and a warning for every homeowner and human being about how far negligence and corruption can reach when unchecked.

Editorial Reviews

It is s truly shaming indictment of our society that so many seemingly professional people would behave in such grossly unethical ways. Sections of American society have decended into such depths of depravity that previous generations would not recognize the same country. I do hope that one or more of the unethical people exposed by Mr. Steiner will sue him. It would get the attention of the media, and I am 100% certain that a jury of reasonable people would find for Mr. Steiner.
