Homeowner's Associations....

Lesson #1:

If you want to be involved with your HOA at any level (and not a) frustrated out of your mind, and b) not have your time wasted) don't bother going to the regular meetings (for the general membership).

The meetings are about 20% substance, and 80% annoyance. It is a very good example of why "pure" democracy is not ideal. Too many "votes that count" from the uninformed (despite every effort to inform).

Go to the board meetings and vote by proxy. Be involved, but be efficient!
