HEY……………WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
By
Eric Glazer, Esq.
Published February 12, 2024
Every
week, Jan, Rafael and myself blog about the issues that affect
all of you that live in community associations throughout our
great state. Read in a vacuum, one would think that you would
have to be nuts to want to live in one of these community
associations where boards of directors have more control over
your own home than you do. Where management companies who want
to keep their jobs at these communities risk getting fired if
they don’t heed the demands of the board, even if those demands
are unreasonable or even downright mean spirited.
Of course
the overwhelming topic the past two years has been the exposure
of our crumbling condominium buildings as they begin to age and
the fact that most associations have little to no money in the
bank to make these repairs. So, huge assessments are on the
way, whether you can afford it or not.
These
seem to be the topics that dominate our blogs and even the Condo
Craze and HOAs YouTube show. Believe me, it is not easy writing
50 blogs per year, doing about 40 shows and trying to keep the
material fresh and interesting. That’s where you come in.
What are
the topics that you believe should dominate the condominium and
HOA landscape? What are the issues that we may be missing or
that simply deserve more coverage?
How about
this? Are there any of you that think condos and HOAs simply get
a bad wrap? There has to be thousands or millions of people who
wake up every morning in their perfectly manicured community and
believe they have purchased their own little piece of paradise.
How about
those of you who think board members get a bad wrap and thank
god that these good people do the work for the community that
99% of the members would never want to touch. Maybe you even
believe that board members should get paid for the work they do.
We want
to hear from you. Surprise us. Tell us the issues we should be
covering or that you may have a particular interest in. We will
do our very best, as we have done for about 15 years now, to
write about the issues that stir the pot in our communities.
Thanks for being loyal readers and viewers.
