Yep,and I was even president of one.Our dues are only $45/year.There were several that stayed on the BOD and thought they ran the community. I started a grass roots movement and we got all them tossed out and every thing quieted down.Main problem was they made me president. This was more than a few years ago, I'm just an old grumpy curmudgeon now now, but I drive a Chevy 2500HD, not a Subaru. Ours is a 295 home community, 5 acre lots on 1200 acres. .
The BOD does not go out and police and we don't have a management community attending to it. Only way something gets action is if a neighbor complains which is rare now and we have an arbitration clause.
The problem with people bitching about HOA's is they won't get involved and fix it.
