Ya know...

I reach out on for help from homeowners , on a web site that I was told 2 years ago to ignore. Has anyone noticed that no other current board members come here? Or reply to any postings here? I was looking through some of the older posts, and there really isn't anything positive going on here. It truly is just a web site designated for a few people to bitch and complain, instead of do anything constructive. As much as I didn't appreciate Curt's method of expressing his opinion at 10:00pm on a Sunday, I admire him for getting out and doing something. It takes much more effort to do something than it does to sit and type from the comforts of your home, and criticize those who are taking action and actually doing something.

No one on this board takes their jobs lightly, or takes on issues as a game. The issues in the common area have been going on for years. This is the first board that decided to take a permanent action to help solve the problem.... like it or not, that's the fact.

You criticize and comment about how awful the board is and how now is the time for action. You are mistaken - the time for action started years ago. The board asked for help. They tried to get a Neighborhood watch going, but everyone was too busy... and they didn't want to get involved. Or they volunteered, and then didn't show up to any meetings.

Good or bad, the board has the right to make changes in the common area, and they can do it without your vote one way or the other. You want the HOA to go away - you have two options:

1. Sell the common area to the city and let them take care of it.
2. Move.

You want to dissolve the HOA? I believe you need 100% of the homeowners to agree.

You want to replace the entire board? Stand up then and volunteer to serve during our next HOA yearly meeting.

It's time to put the keyboard away, turn your computer monitor off, and go outside. Take action, take a stand, do something constructive to help. If you choose not to take action, or go to the meetings, or talk to your board members, you have no right to complain.

I talk to anyone who has stopped by my house, or met me in the park, or called, even late in the night. I came to this blog in order to get a perspective from homeowners that might not be getting to other board members. I came here looking for what residents wanted done. I came to this blog asking for help - I guess I should have listened to the past\present board members when they told me to avoid this site. I guess it's never too late to listen to good advice.

I will not be reading or replying to anything posted on this site again. That is kinda sad. I was only here trying to help.
