Punaticbychoice, some people in HPP are indeed self centered, some are shortsighted, and some are both. I find it impossible to sympathize with people who have basically used an extortionistic strategy to get what they want by filing against their own community. On the other hand, it's very hard to sympathize with a board which bought into a cost formula based on a low point in oil prices. Paving costs are more influenced by oil prices than anything else, and it didn't require a crystal ball to see oil prices going up. Add to that some serious lapses in transparency and violations of the by-laws, and you have a board that made more than just the dust complainers angry.
I don't know which trite little cliche' is more appropriate: "We have met the enemy and he is us," or "We're all Bozos on this bus." Take your pick.
