While I have my own opinions of our HOA, and what is going on in different areas of the neighborhood, I do think this is one topic we're all going to have to agree to disagree. Girl, you have done so much for the neighborhood and I think if many knew who you were on here, there would probably be a greater understanding but unfortunately I think it takes more time living here for some to understand your position. Even I don't fully understand it all since I'm in a different part and haven't seen many of the issues that have occurred. Either way, I think it will take time for each resident to develop their own point of view and all will have to accept the views for what they are... personal opinions.
That being said, if someone truly feels that these boards would bring our property value down, then that saddens me. We have had many positive discussions on here and despite having been personally attacked on the HOA board when it existed along with several others, I still think a community voice is an important aspect to have. All communities have drawbacks, it just so happens that we have people willing to speak up and work together to fix the negatives. I would hope that any prospective resident would take that into consideration. I certainly did when I moved here.
