Radius Whisman Station Governance and Transparency Watch

Date: Dec 16, 2025 Category: Community Culture / Digital Governance  THE "SNITCH LINE" HAS ARRIVED AT RADIUS. Is Our Community Prioritizing Surveillance Over the Constitution? Summary: A healthy community relies on trust between neighbors. However, in a recent public post on the Radius at Whisman Station Mountain View community Facebook group, Group Moderator Jonathan Lee took the unprecedented step of asking residents to provide "tips" to identify and unmask fellow homeowners for the "offense" of publishing a governance, civil rights, and transparency website. This is not an isolated incident. It represents the third escalation in a coordinated pattern of hostility targeting civil rights, governance, disability rights, election integrity, and transparency—starting with a Board Director's historic hostility, which included public complaints of being "forced" to follow the CC&Rs and the law in approving a disability accommodation and ...

Date:  Dec 5, 2025 Category: Civil Rights / Association Governance Summary Compliance with Fair Housing laws is a mandatory duty of the Association, not an optional burden. However, during the Open Board Meeting on November 10, 2025, Director  Patrick Szeto publicly stated that the Board was "forced" to grant a previous landscaping improvement—a project the homeowner paid for entirely out-of-pocket and which was consistent with the CC&Rs as admitted by the Board in writing . This comment reveals a troubling mindset regarding civil rights. When viewed in the context of the hostility Director Patrick Szeto displayed during the original interactive process and subsequent to it regarding this accommodation, his recent public comments raise concerns about a pattern of discriminatory conduct. Furthermore, Director Patrick Szeto was given a formal deadline to provide a written response to the Board. He has failed to respond. This refusal to engage with formal governance inqu...

Date: Nov 20, 2025 Category: Association Governance / Community Trust Summary A healthy community requires open dialogue. Recently, however, the primary online forum for Radius at Whisman Station HOA residents in Mountain View CA has been compromised. Alvin Lin , the Admin of the community Facebook group—who also serves professionally as a Vice President of Commercial Strategy for a publicly traded biotech company —has engaged in a pattern of censorship, unsubstantiated accusations of corruption, and documented efforts to influence Board composition. This post details the documentary evidence of a campaign driven not by community good, but by a personal agenda that appears to fall far short of the ethical standards expected of a senior corporate leader. 1. The Accusation of Corruption ("Enrichment") The most serious and damaging accusation made by Group Admin Alvin Lin is that the current Board has committed a crime. The Accusation: In a written public comment, Alvin Lin...

Date: Nov 18, 2025 Category: Association Governance / Fiduciary Duty Summary A fundamental requirement of serving on an HOA Board is the duty to review Association business materials to make informed decisions. During the Open Board Meeting for the Radius at Whisman Station HOA in Mountain View CA on November 10, 2025, it was revealed that the Board Treasurer, Patrick Szeto, was unaware of the details and costs of a major landscaping proposal—despite the fact that the information had been provided to the Board nearly five months prior . The Incident: November 10, 2025 During the Open Session of the Board Meeting on November 10, a discussion arose regarding the recently completed shrub-to-turf conversion project. During this discussion, Treasurer Patrick Szeto stated that he was not aware of the proposal details. The Timeline of Information (The 5-Month Gap) While the Treasurer claimed unawareness in November, Association records confirm that the information was available to him lo...

 Date: Dec 31 2024 Category: Association Governance / Financial Transparency Summary To comply with new federal regulations, the Radius at Whisman Station HOA Board in Mountain View CA was required to submit specific documentation by October 31, 2024, to secure a discounted administrative rate. While the majority of the Board complied well in advance, Director Patrick Szeto failed to meet the deadline. Despite a subsequent opportunity on November 1 to rectify the delay and potentially save the Association money, the required action was not taken, resulting in unnecessary additional costs to the HOA. The Federal Requirement: Corporate Transparency Act In September 2024, the HOA management company notified the Board of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) , a federal law requiring Homeowners Associations to report "beneficial ownership" information to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Compliance is mandatory, and non-compliance carries significant civil and criminal penal...
