...and other like minded limited folks who see EVIL wherever they turn...
People often falsely see in others what they fail to see within themselves.
I agree JonD1. Many of these people claiming HOA Board abuses are often some of the most uninformed and downright nastiest people one could ever meet. I deal with them on a daily basis now in my community. They often throw out any slander and libel with no proof whatsoever. They lie. They threaten sometimes even physical violence. They pull every dirty trick in an attempt to weasel out of their responsibility to maintain their own property and pay their contribution for the common area property.
There is a large and growing segment of our population that have a virtually unlimited sense of entitlement. And it NOT just in HOAs. It is everywhere.
Well GnomeX I am going out on a limb here and suggesting perhaps you consider picking up Life Codes the new book by Dr. Phil. He speaks to just what you have suggested. But he adds in "arrogant" entitlement as what now appears to be a common trait in our populations.
I want what I want when I want it. And the rest of you live to give it to me!
Now I had suggested this book to another but his reading list it would appear seems to be limited to just one book. And for him his learning stops there.
Yes, whenever you don't get what YOU want it must be a bad Board and faulty HOA. Yes, when the HOA requires anything of you they must be abusing their roles and power. As if the HOA flew in from Mars.
Over 26 years I have dealt with my share of problematic residents. Sort of leaves a bad taste in your mouth towards all people if you were to let it. I hold out the hope there just might be a few decent folks left who understand as adults you have responsibilities, you don't always get what you want, and that other people were not put here to serve you or do your work for you. Those are hard facts for some people to grasp these days.
I had one woman here who stopped paying her CCs. Everyone else pays just not her! One day while walking through town she was in the nail saloon having her nails done! You gotta love folks like that! And enjoy dealing with them.
