I second the statement. We lived in a similar development for 12 years. While the developer maintained control the landscaping and other common property maintenance was immaculate. When the developer pulled out a management clique formed and priorities changed. Landscaping was pared back and road preservation actions got leaner. Recreational emphasis became what those on the board were involved in and others were scaled back. A lot of fuss, but because most residents were part time and didn't get involved it was very difficult to vote out incumbents. Even though I don't always agree with the developer's actions, my vote is for benevolent dictatorship.
