I agree with this thought. Most people are willing to get involved only after something has p*ssed them off. I attend PWAC and my CDD meeting every month. It is usually me and four other residents. Unless, someone got turned in for a deed restriction. Then the room is full.

One other thought and then I will give the floor over. Are we so certain that the underhanded nature of things is simply perceived and not real? As in: 'The Developer benefits so they must be pulling strings'. So easy to accuse and critisize. So, I guess we will see how the new commisioners do after the revolution.
