    And they have control because they don’t have opposition from people who aren’t like them… Welcome to politics, it’s the same thing at all levels. Get involved or shut up. You don’t vote? Then you agree with whatever the people who do decided.

      Or just don’t agree, and get a house that’s not part of an HOA. With individual houses at least, you can realistically opt out of a system where the 51% of Karens accept management company bribes.

      So you believe the working class is america is under represented because less working class members vote than the rich voters? “Welcome to politics, it’s the same thing at all levels” That just isn’t how it works is it?

      Home owners associations are more accessible to those with more money and more time. Seems familiar doesn’t it.

        Well, yes. Less working class people vote (as a percentage) than rich people.

        Also the rich people help run ads telling the working class who to vote for. And that works often enough to be effective.

          “Well, yes. Less working class people vote (as a percentage) than rich people.”

          So your answer was no.

          So now lets get into the President. Vice President, Treasurer, Member at Large, and Secretary postions.

          They have the ability (as the board) to vote on a matter without the “populous” being present or having a vote.

          An HOA can be okay, but can take advantage of situations really quickly. Not to mention hold grudges over things for years.

        No, I believe that if there’s only 20 owners that are involved and you jump in you’re 1 out of 21 voices instead of 1 out of millions of voices so your opinion has more weight to it.
