Summary: Bandaid fixes??
Comment: Replacing the board is a good idea and can be helpful in some cases, however, in many cases and particularly with a well entrenched board and its allied management company, it is only a bandaid fix for the deep wounds of CID living.

In addition to reading this book, it would be good to follow up with, Villa Appalling! Destroying the Myth of Affordable Community Living, written by Donie Vanitzian and Stephen Glassman.

Summary: Required Reading
Comment: Did you ever wonder if you're alone in your feeling toward the Homeowners Association? Did you ever wonder what kind of people LOVE to run one? Did you ever wonder what you could do to make it better? One answer BUY THE BOOK. I live in an HOA that is run by people who have absolutely no regard for their neighbor's rights.
This book lets you know what CAN and HAS happen with an HOA. Some of the stories in the book are exactly what is happening in ours now. You should read this book while sitting down, this way you won't have to far to fall when you hit the floor. This is what happens when your neighbors nose doesn't end at their fence. The most freighting part is HOA's are getting bigger,stronger and growing fast. Lawyers and management companies love HOA's and the author tells you why. The author understands what many people don't, the HOA is a mini-government.
To see what CAN happen to YOU and HAS happened to OTHERS I think this book isn't a purchase, it's an investment.

Summary: Great, useful book!
Comment: Joni's book is great for new Board of Directors of HOA's. Her book is fun to read. But her book also taught me a lot about being a good Board member, searching for a new management (service) company, and establishing good policy for the community as a whole but also for the individuals who live here. Her book is also good for anyone who lives in a covenant-controlled community. Many thanks to Joni for taking time to write her book!!!
