HOA Boards are usually nests that spread discord and generally tend to lower the quality of life for community. Where there is no honesty, peace, focus or dedicated devotion to the task at hand, there is no good quality of life for anyone.
I cannot remember one year that we have not had issues with the roads. I think we have become the most pain in the ass subdivision in East Hawaii and that has kept us from bringing in needed infrastructure. Hawaiian beaches have their own running water AND paved roads and viable public transport, Hove has paved their entire subdivision...
I remember the day one of our female office staffer's resigned and literally darted out of the Park, and by chance met with me, I will never forget what she said between tears of rage: "HPP should ask itself who have they pissed of so much at County Level that they cannot get anything done here".
And as far as Boards are concerned, in many instances, even good intentioned folks volunteering in these Boards get sucked in by the sanctimonious omnipresence of the professional types that for some reason know it better than anyone else and whose Midas touch is usually out of touch with the rest of us.
I think that most of us live here because Hawaii is not the mainland with all the bs that entails. Simply, we pay dues to the Association to have GOOD roads, that's it...This not a HOA but a ROAD association meaning our organization only pertains to the building and maintainance of our roads... Not about parks, maintaining structures for social events, and community patrols,no interference in our lots, no added burdens if we occupy our land or not, funding for "employee squables", or to pay attorneys fee to fight ourselves.
