My sister lives in a HOA area. The board was being unreasonably picky with neighbors. Her husband and some other neighbors got together, ran for the board, won, and put things on the right track.

My friend bought a condo, which has the equivalent of a HOA. The board was refusing to maintain the building and dock. He and other neighbors got on the board and fixed the problem.

I’ve never lived anywhere with a HOA. If I did, I’d get on the board and do my part to make sure things were running well.
