The condo meeting and annual board election are coming up and it's turning into and unsexy version of Melrose Place bitchiness around here.

Apparently taking away free cable is enough to make people go all Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

mine has devolved into lawsuits, paint thinner on cars, and general harassment. - mafic Feb 22, 08:28 2
- An object lesson on why local government isn't the answer to most of our problems. - TWuG Feb 22, 08:38
- yikes -- nm - Beaker Feb 22, 08:34
I'm glad I'll probably never be in a HOA ever again. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 08:20 10
- many of them are far more reasonable and hands-off. - Don Homer Feb 22, 08:22 9
  - I don't like the idea of having to get approval from my neighbors to do anything to my house. Seems very strange to me to - Krusty Feb 22, 08:33 3
    - yeah, we're trying to avoid it in our current search. -- nm - znufrii Feb 22, 08:37
    - in a building, i can understand it. when it's a neighbourhood, and i'm in a house? it seems really wrong to me too. -- nm - Andie Feb 22, 08:36 1
      - I'm fine with basic things like "keep your lawn mowed", "keep the exterior in good repair", etc. - TWuG Feb 22, 08:40
  - The key is to do your homework before buying: read the CC&Rs/ By-Laws... - Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 22, 08:25
  - A condo HOA is a bit different. They have to be hands on as they own maintaining the common areas. - ty97 Feb 22, 08:23 3
    - Wait, you think taking *away* a service is *more* hands on? - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 22, 08:29 1
      - this is my thought as a financial analyst. how convenient that the bulk cable costs just as much as they need to increase fees. - jonesy Feb 22, 08:38
    - did you ever catch the parcel thief? note that I would bring that up during budget season. -- nm - jonesy Feb 22, 08:24
it's a huge expense, really. I would rather see my fees increase by the cost of bulk cable than have to pay for individual cable. - jonesy Feb 22, 08:18 1
- Yup. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 22, 08:19
I told you to look at the budget. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 22, 08:18
Ain't it fun? -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 22, 08:16
