Some of us condo-owning idiots did read the CC&Rs, only to be outvoted by the majority. The owners now pay $200 per month over dues for the privilege of collectively donating to a charity owned by one of the condo owners. Don’t try to tell me it’s all about not reading before buying.

I suggest that you run for election to the board at the first possible moment. And get like minded folks to run. I know I have served on our board several times. What typically happens here is nobody shows up for the annual board meeting, can't even get a quorum. So those in charge are free to do whatever they want. I personally stopped several unnecessary dues increases.

Your other choice is to move to a place without HOA.

Won’t work, the board members are the ones who introduced the idea.
