Association facilitates road maintenance (we have gravel roads). It negotiates on our behalf for garbage services.

You can form a co-op with your neighboors and achieve the same thing without giving someone the authority to impose rules on you.

[Madeleine Ward]

We didn't give them the authority.

It was a development and association that we bought into.

We are not having any problems with our association, its function, nor with the 'rules' which are neither restrictive nor intrusive.

I have read about some of the nightmare stories, but we are not experiencing any such problems.

Of course, we don't have moonbat neighbors.
