That statement is a little bit excessive. For the past 2+ years I’ve been the secretary of our local HOA. We’re in an exurb, so most of our daily services come from the HOA. Snow plowing, street maintenance, flood control, getting the new mailboxes bought and installed, weed control, getting property insurance on HOA resources, you name it — we do it. I’d love to quit, but no one steps forward to take a turn at doing the work.To be sure, we have a would-be petty tyrant on the board, but he always gets voted down. When we do pester people it’s about things like keeping weeds and ice out of their driveway culverts so the neighbors don’t get flooded when there’s a sudden snowmelt or a springtime rain-on-snow event.
