A large portion of lot owners don’t pay dues—think about what their reasons might be:
1) can’t afford it (it’s not much money, but some people don’t have that much to spare);
2) don’t see a benefit—absentee owners, people with rental properties, folks who don’t use the CC;
3) don’t like HACA-related people they’ve encountered over the years;
4) don’t feel like they have a say in where the money is spent (I used to pay my dues and go to meetings. At each meeting, a particular board member held a bunch of proxies, so whatever she wanted got passed.);
5) don’t care.

1) work trade as previously suggested
2) keeps the neighborhoods friendly, a focal point for when the absentees visit, neighborhood watch, volunteer fire dept
3)most people are wonderful; you can reap the benefits without encountering the politics
4)communications can be improved
5)you have the option to not participate!
