the association should contract an established management company
I refer to this as the "disinterested third party" -- said professional management should explicitly not include any landowner or resident of the subvidision being managed.
It will cost more
Still much cheaper than lawsuits, receivership, or embezzlement.
What about maintaining paved roads that are used by external residents
I think all the subdivisions should install gates at key points to exclude all non-residents from their "privately owned" roads. While this would be incredibly inconvenient in the short term, the resulting furor might actually force the right thing to happen.
Well managed, it can be a jewel. Right now is going down the hill very fast
I've always assumed that dysfunctional management has a side goal of manipulating real estate prices. Maybe if enough people contested their County valuation for property tax purposes...
