Yes, but nowadays we are getting people on the boards of these HOAs that can’t even balance their checkbook. My Husband serves on a board for a condo we own in Rancho Mirage that has been in litigation for several years due to idiots who tried to subvert proper due process in order to lower their own HOA dues while raising other units dues. They were also using reserve funds for other than reserve needs, which has led to increases in our dues. These units are over 25 years old and we really need those reserves right now. It can be a mixed bag, and we finally have enough people’s attention to come to the meetings and participate in the process, but for how long? They will become complaicent again soon enough, that’s when you get an ignoramous for your HOA president.
