The POA has become a political organization that is taking an adversarial role with the developer. They are in a war with the developer! Really not sure what else they do at this point! I do not agree with this approach. I believe that the POA should be working in conjunction and together with ANY organization regarding improvements wanted by the majority of the residents. They are not my voice anymore! I have found conversations gets results. I have found willingness to compromise and agreeing to smaller steps will open doors to continued discussions. This is how you help both parties feel good about change and get to mutual agreement. I also have found that demanding never works. It slams the door shut and nothing constructive ever gets accomplished!

As pointed out in an earlier reply to your post, there have been a number of instances where the Developer has taken actions that prejudice the residents, and the POA has acted on behalf of the residents. The most glaring example, which is not mentioned in that post, are the facts that underlay the POA-backed, class-action suit against the Developer. The suit was settled with the Developer ponying up (as I recall) about $40 million dollars. If you really feel as strongly as you do about the POA, some simple arithmetic can give you your approximate share of the $40 million and you can refund it to the Developer.
