Gracie's comments , as usual, are not frivilous. I financed a number of large condo developments in Md , Va an NJ. Things were great while the developer was in charge and had a huge interest in keeping things under control. The problems started when the residents(erstwhile intelligentsia) took over. Their petty arguments and misguided ideas in many cases became self distructive. Most homeowners have no experience in running anything other that their own homes and families and many of the decisions were naive to say the least. Of course , the biggest , rabblerousers became a majority of the governing bodies.
Be careful what you wish for, it will happen soon enough.
