POA at the time sued the Developer to force him to repair the wear and tear. Court agreed that he must fix and fined him $40M which is still being spent to fix things in the villages. Out of this the Developer became angry and formed the HOA as a punishment for forcing him to repair the Rec Center and losing the court case. An arguement you will hear is that in the decision of the court case 4 POA members were awarded $50K per.That is true The one being a critic of this will not add that each of the 4 put up their own money at risk for the suit and the Judge provided this as a result of their time to sue and risk their own money for the residents. Net: HOA formed as punishment for challenging Developer and owe their allegiance to the Developer and the POA to the residents. That is the history of the two..
Thank you for providing “the rest of the story” — which I already knew but now others can, too.

I have to think, or hope, that the Case of the Rotting Rec Center will have a continuing positive effect on maintenance of the whole place as TV moves farther away from its beginnings.

We got a brand new roof, at no cost to us, because the POA was diligent in working “with” (ahem) the developer when houses in part of the LSL section were found to have a bad run of shingles.
