I suspect the later.

This deal has been in place since the board was still in developers control.

It’s only been the last 5 years or so that residents have started gaining seats.

We are finally completely built out so this year the developer has to exit and the board will be fully resident run.

And yes, apparently it applies to any resident training / coaching even their kid on common community grounds or facilities.

Obviously does not apply to our own homes but the whole thing is still bull****.

Seems to me it may all be the result of a litigation adverse Management Company.

As in the less they allow the less they get sued.

Once the developers leave things can be changed. I wonder what sort of kick-back the developers got, who's cousin runs BB.

Sounds like a load of crap, and a good reason to avoid neighborhoods with HOAs or at least active HOAs. For 17 years, we lived in a neighborhood with an HOA (neighborhood from the 60s/70s), but I never heard a thing from or about them. I think the dues were either $50/yr or maybe 75/yr. I think I remember hearing once that one of the officers had been embezzling.
