they hired a law firm from Oahu.
And there-in lies one of HPPOA's many problems. Because hiring an attorney from Oahu, who does not know or understand the first thing about substandard subdivisions in Puna (which are NOTHING like condominiums, planned communities, time-shares, or even subdivisions on Oahu) has created a massive cluster of HPPOA mistakes. Mistakes that could have been avoided. But now that those mistakes have been made, HPPOA, as Obie has pointed out, is going to take their misguided "quest" and "see this through to the end." And their numerous attorneys, it seems (all PAID for as long as this cluster drags out) are there to bang coconuts, gallop behind them, and sing HPPOA new "advice and opinion."
HPPOA may as well have hired attorneys from Kansas ("I dont think we're in Kansas anymore...")
421J states explicitly and DEFINITIVELY that membership must be automatic, binding, and NON-SEVERABLE. HPPOA does not fit that definition. I and other HPP Owners are PROOF of that. AS we have relinquished our membership and it has been accepted and documented by HPPOA. Because HPPOA MUST accept and document ANY request for relinquishing.
Membership in HPPOA is SEVERABLE.
As for "hating" anyone. That is a strong term and emotion. And while I may be passionate, about what I believe and do not believe, I do not "hate." The problems every HPPOA (formerly PHH) board seems to have had, since their messy lawsuits, is that they; lost their way, forgot their purpose, grew too big too fast and had no clue what they were doing, became greedy, wanted more, tried to rewrite their history, tried to make themselves into something they are not, and have been allowed to "rule" without any oversight or consequence for decades. I do not "hate" the board. However, after reading decades of meeting minutes and other docs, it is OBVIOUS that the vast majority of HPPOA board members, who have served over the past 40 plus years, had/have no clue what has occurred before them, where they are supposed to be going, or why. The ignorance is jaw-dropping, but does not make me "hate" them.
The HPPOA board's incompetence is not a reason for "hate." But it should be a loud call for CHANGE.
