Hoa drama update.

Some guy has had a construction dumpster in his driveway for a month or more. He's gotten two notices. Beware.

The lawsuit by the bored, retired, homeowner with nothing better to do, has finally been officially filed. Despite a letter in his mailbox, and an email, and a Facebook post, he claims he was not duly notified of the HOA meeting. They now have added calling, and knocking on his door as well.

He's also (and this is the key) ticked he has to pay $125 a year for a pool fee. ###? And here's the rub. The pool needed repairs and the HOA hired a company that ripped them off. Did crappy work. They're working to get that resolved, but are also adding money in the event the repairs are not PROPERLY made, and another contractor has to come in (they tried t save a buck). If that's the case, they plan to sue the contractor to recover, but in the meantime need funds available to make sure the pool opens next year. So they're double on the pool budget this year, which is fine. But Fuddy Dudd up the street ain't having it. He has filed for a refund of $125 to be issued by the HOA, and the HOA has said that's fine, no pool next year.

Side note: We moved in here in 2012, and HOA fees, WITH THE PANDEMIC, are still 30% lower than in 2012. The builder was ripping everyone off, and when the neighbors took control of the HOA they saved a TON of money.

Just another example of:
