'Why do [we] have ... a vendetta with the Board?'

We don't respond to anonymous comments — see rules at top of homepage. However, we thought one comment worth responding to. Anonymous wrote: "Why do you have such a vendetta with the Board? They're just volunteers and they are really nice people."

Board members are NOT "just volunteers." They sought the job. They were elected. They effect the value of roughly $110 million worth of real estate. Their actions, or lack thereof, effect the welfare of homeowners. They have duties defined by law. They may be held liable for bad decisions. Being "really nice people" is good, but not sufficient.

Plus, Board members have paid, professional help — the Management Agent and Association Counsel. It is the responsibility of Board members to utilize them effectively. If Board members did so, it would reduce the burden on them.

We have no "vendetta" with the Board or anyone else. Perhaps commenter should study the history of the Association — much of that is available in this blog. The Board, Management Agents and Association Counsel have had more than a decade to correct the problems we've brought to their attention.

In any case, requiring the Board of Directors and the Management Agent to abide by the Virginia Condominium Act and Association Bylaws cannot possibly constitute a "vendata."
