Ask not what the POA can do for you - ask what you can do for the POA.
With the concealed swiftness of the developers action on Hacienda Hills - it is obvious that the Hacienda Hills neighborhood had very little protection against the developers plans. Very likely each homeowner lost $10,000 - $40,000 of their property value now that they will be looking at a massive apartment complex instead of a pretty country club.
I'm sure the POA needs volunteers to research the facts on how this happened and why the neighbors were so poorly protected. Hopefully many homeowners are prompted to volunteer their time, research this out, and work to change whatever laws and policies that allowed this to happen. We need to prevent this from happening in other neighborhoods that are similar to Hacienda Hills.
