So, I go to my first Home Owners Association Meeting (believe it or not, our trailer park has an association). I'm a first time home owner and wanted to check out why I pay $70/mo.
Well, these things obviously look like major bitch sessions! Holy Shit are there some angry people out there!! The funniest part was the angriest, maddest dude was all pissed off about some common area fences that look pretty bad. Well it is the home owners responisiblity (the homes which the fences ran along their property lines) to maintain them. I agree, they look bad, but the association is having a tough time getting people to keep up. Well this guy went on and on and on and on - and that he wanted the association to take care of it. The association said they would need to amend the cc&r's and raise the fees to cover the cost, which was previously voted down. This guy continued to go on, and on, and on, and insisted that he was willing to pay more in fees. Here is the funniest part - there was a item that needed to be voted on, and this gentleman was not allowed to vote.....because he was 6 months behind on his dues!!! I nearly spit out my rootbeer and started cracking up!!! He is willing to pay more!?!?!? More than nothing?
I think next time I take a lawn chair and a case of silvers! This is almost better than Site 6 on Labor Day Weekend!!!!
