Condos are basically designed to socialize expenses,(pay in and someone else does the work) and asking people who love socialization mentality to now spend money on maintenance, runs counter to their spending styles as well as tendency towards maintenance ineptness in the first place.

Condos are huge cluster fusses. . as well as located in places where maintenance is higher than normal, (mostly near the ocean where the salt in the air and the sandy soil creates a lot of potential erosion and instability)
Timely that I tired of catching and eating lobsters. :-) Fortunately, the short game is coming around to where I can enjoy these pretty golf courses here.

The beach condo folks are looking at some sudden, large increases in things like "reserves" funding. OTOH, there's a couple of new tall ones going up near our old one with some crazy numbers for the unit prices.

Had a tennis acquaintance explain to me that getting on a condo "board" can be utilized as a means of acquiring "kickbacks". Definitely do not miss the "condo commandos", however much fun it was to test their logical reasoning capabilities. :-)
