Hi Stevefrom NY, Home owners assoc's and condo assoc's are very similar. A lot of people with absolutely no experience get elected based on a popularity contest and instantly turn into experts with yellow pads. They start making rules and bylaws with no way to enforce them. Then of course there is maintenance fee's enacted by them for everything under the sun. Your once peaceful community suddenly turns into a war zone. People that were once friends and neighbors now become mortal enemies. I have experienced this and have no desire to repeat the experience.
