Vote them off. I was fed up a few years ago by some plans afoot in my HOA. I wrote up a letter describing the scenario, mailed it to every home owner, and asked for their support. At the next annual meeting the item was voted down. You can use persuasion. That is part of the political system. The key, is be in involved. I find that the unhappiest HOA members are usually those that are the least involved in the process. Jim In a message dated 6/26/2008 8:56:28 A.M. US Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
I hate HOAs. I currently live in a square of condos that have a very "old" membered HOA. They dislike all ideas presented from anyone outside the board. Over the last two years owners have stopped attending the meetings because it has become a lost cause. The "circle" gets what they want and anything outside of it is denied. they waste money, one example would be the "beautification committee" It beautied up two buildings (conveniently it was some of the top board members buildings) and then "ran" out of money. I cant wait to move. casey On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 11:19 AM, Tony Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > wrote: I cheered for Ireland when I read of the results!
