Hidden Valley Lake is a census-designated place (CDP) and gated subdivision in Lake County, California, United States. It is a common-interest development managed by the Hidden Valley Lake Association (HVLA). Its population was 6,235 at the 2020 census, up from 5,579 at the 2010 census.
In October 2014, The State Water Resources Control Board ordered the Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District to stop allowing new service connections to its water system due to concerns that, under current drought conditions, the district did not have enough water to meet future demands. The district, with about 2,500 connections, is a junior water rights holder in the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River watersheds.[3] November 2020 the water moratorium was lifted and new water rights are currently available through the District, but at a much higher price point.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 10.0 square miles (26 km2), of which 9.8 square miles (25 km2) is land and 0.14 square miles (0.36 km2) (1.45%) is water.[1] In the west of the town, California State Route 29 runs through the town limits.

Hidden Valley Lake (a.k.a. Hidden Valley Lake Association), as a CID or Homeowners Association, is a non-profit corporation under California law and is covered by the California Corporations Code and the Davis-Stirling Act. The former covers all functioning related to non-profit corporations, while the latter specifically covers homeowner associations (HOAs) in the state. There is no single state agency charged with regulating HOAs, i.e., no agency that is known to take an active role in addressing violations of the law within HOAs.

Common-interest development (CID) is one of the fastest growing types of housing development scheme in the some parts of the world today. They include condominiums, community apartments, planned developments, and stock cooperatives.
The Davis–Stirling Common Interest Development Act is the popular name of the portion of the California Civil Code beginning with section 4000, which governs condominium, cooperative, and planned unit development communities in California. Contrary to what the title of the Act suggests, the bill was authored/drafted by University of San Diego School of Law Professor Katharine N. Rosenberry while she served as a Senior Consultant to the California Assembly Select Committee on Common Interest Developments. Assemblymen Lawrence W. "Larry" Stirling and Gray Davis added their names as authors prior to the bill being passed/enacted by the California State Legislature in September 1985. The Act was comprehensively reorganized and recodified by Assembly Bill 805 as of 2014.
Reserves for common-interest developments are funds (reserves) collected for the long-term maintenance or replacements of the common areas in a common-interest development (CID). The funds accumulate until they are needed for such. In a common-interest development, the funds are managed through a board of directors (BOD) elected by the homeowners' association (HOA) from the existing owners. The board performs its duties based upon the covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs). As outlined in the CC&Rs the board is responsible for producing budgets for the maintenance fees to be assessed to the owners. A reserve study is a coordinated effort between HOA management, BOD, contractors/vendors, interior designers, architects, engineers, accountants, investment counselors and sometimes lenders for producing an overall reserve plan. The process begins with the identification of the individual common area items (or reserve items) which need to be reserved for in the reserve study analysis. There is a standardized four-part test for determining if an asset is appropriate for reserve designation: The asset must be a common area maintenance responsibility The asset must have a useful life The asset must have a predictable remaining useful life The asset must be above a minimum threshold cost Once the reserve items have been identified and established as the reserve component list, the following information will then be determined for each item by the professionals outlined above: Project description (e.g. "fence - paint" or "fence - replace") Description/quantity Useful life Remaining useful life Current replacement cost Additional useful information such as: Cost basis (current cost by square yards, linear feet, each, etc.) Freight and labor (costs to receive and install) Salvage (estimated value of the item when replaced, if any) Date placed in service or the date last maintained or replaced From this a reserve financial plan and budget is created to determine the amount to be assessed to the owners in their maintenance fees. Since the governing body is charged with the responsibility of maintaining and protecting the association's assets, it is important that cash reserves are available in case major repairs or replacements are needed. The most equitable way is a process whereby financial assets (reserve funds) accumulate over time as physical assets (fixed components) wear out. Insufficient funding of reserves could lead to financial difficulties for the association. Major repairs and unexpected expenses may not be covered, putting a burden on homeowners. A lack of reserve funds could result in the imposition of special assessments or loans, which would affect the financial stability of the community and property values. One of the toughest challenges for reserve (fund and facility) analysis and reporting has always been the timeshare/shared ownership/vacation rental industry. Typically, nearly two-thirds of the total replacement/maintenance costs for a particular property are associated with apartment interiors, with the remainder for common area facilities. It is critical for reserve advisors to plan ahead for most estates of this type, or the process can become unmanageable. All associations, regardless of size, must prepare a reserve study, unless the total replacement cost is less than 50% of the association's gross budget, excluding the association's reserve account for the period. The reserve fund is for the repair, replacement, restoration, or maintenance of major components of the general area.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
