I'm not a member of POA but I support the effort to have checks and balances.
One of the reasons I don't join POA is because of the obvious bias against, and even hatred of, the developer. The reporting in the POA Bulletin is often very sensationalistic and biased (more biased than the Daily Sun) and in some cases has told untruths. The funding of the live oaks park by the bridge on Morse is an example of where untruths were told but later clarified by VHA and facts.
I think we need both VHA and POA. VHA's goal is to keep TV pristinely kept, fiscally funded and managed, and fiscally solvent as well. The developer protecting his business assets here (banks, insurance and mortgage companies, and millions of square feet of commercial leasing properties) is simultaneously protecting OUR assets tied up in our homes. If the developer lets his business assets go to the dogs (which won't happen), home values go to the dogs right behind them.
In many ways, what's good for the developer's business here is good for us, too. We couldn't afford to live like this in other places, and in the first place, other places don't even HAVE what we have here, much less at an affordable price.
