When we first arrived here, the POA was an outspoken critic of the developer, although at the time, they were dealing with the vinyl siding issue and getting nowhere with the warranty department. Residents were being told everything was OK, when it was obvious siding was not being installed per the manufacturer's instructions. The VHA sided with the developer. I can remember the developer attending a VHA meeting after the tornado remarking that the siding was OK because pieces of houses damaged by the tornado still had siding attached. Perhaps, at that time, the POA needed to be strident.
Since then, the POA has reduced the volume and has become, IMO, more of a watchdog for the residents. They still take on projects that need to be addressed, such as the A/C line problems, the AT&T cell reception problem, and the attempt to get real numbers about golf cart accidents. They are watching the IRS/bond issue and reporting each step in the process. Their newsletter often praises the developer for the vision to create this community and supports many of the efforts of the CDDs. I don't see them taking the opposing side of an issue just to be contrary.
I am now a member of the POA. I think they fill an important need for the residents.
