Important tidbit about that $45 million - it was the result of a lawsuit, because there was black mold in the Paradise rec center, and they found rats or squirrels (can't remember which, might've been both), living and dead, between the ceiling and the roof of the building. Lots of structural damage, and so on. The building wasn't that old, and the developer refused to do any repairs on the shoddy work. So residents and lawyers got together, formed the POA, and sued the developer - and won.
The POA is the group that looks out for the property owners' best interests. The HOA is the group that looks out for the developer's interests.
