LOL, you're "stuck" with nothing - it's EXACTLY the way you want it. And it's WHY no one shows up - if more showed up, you'd have to change the rules until they stopped.
And of course, being a rules follower, y'all file with the SEC when you invest the reserve funds, and issue annual dividends to the residents, right?
Sure you do! LOL!
I joined the board because I thought the rules were stupid and that I could change them. You can get a fine in our neighborhood if you have 6 or more weeds 3" or taller. If your garbage can is visible from the street, you can be fined. Stupid crap like that.
Once on the board I discovered that the board is trapped into enforcing the stupid rules. We tried to have one ruled changed, had a physical meeting, but accepted proxy votes, which is allowed. Got the requisite 80% approval. Went forward with the lawsuit (the vote was to allow the board to sue our previous management company for financial malfeasance) and they countered that our vote to allow us to move forward violated the law (our own rules in this case) because we didn't have 80% of the homeowners PHYSICALLY at the meeting. This crap is STILL being fought in court.
No, this is not the way I want it.
BTW, our members each got a $90 dividend check last year.
Stuff it.
