We live in a community, not in a resort hotel, and we should demand honest government that represents the people, not special interests.

With regard to the class action lawsuit you mention: For the benefit of newbies, it was sponsored by the POA when the Developer allowed the amenities to the deteriorate. It resulted in the Developer's having to pony up over $40 million for the residents. If you think that the suit was not justified, feel free to write the Developer a check for your share, which would probably come to roughly $800 ($40 million/50,000 homes) or so.
