Today, the board hit every owner with an $850 special assessment – dropped on us with all the grace and transparency of a brick through a window. They call it ânecessary.â We call it what it is: yet another example of careless governance at our expense.
đ A Huge Spike in Readers
And hereâs whatâs telling: on the very same day this assessment landed, our blog saw a huge spike in traffic. Owners didnât just groan quietly and move on – they came here to look for facts, context, and answers. That surge proves people are paying attention, and the boardâs usual recipe of silence and spin isnât working anymore.
đ Why Your Attention Matters
And yet, on the very same day, you turned here – to read, to question, to understand. That matters.
Every time you refuse to shrug and just write the cheque, you prove the board wrong. They count on silence. They count on apathy. Your presence here is proof they donât get to operate in the shadows anymore.
đ Nobody Signed Up for This
None of us bought a condo dreaming of becoming accountants, litigators, or watchdogs. But when leadership fails, owners have no choice but to step into those roles.
That $850 isnât just money. Itâs a symbol of everything broken in how this place is run – and the fact that youâre here, paying attention, shows we are not willing to ignore it.
âď¸ Taking Back the Narrative
So while the board took $850 from your wallet today, youâve taken something from them: their monopoly on the story.
They can force assessments, but they canât force silence. They can control the bills, but not the conversation. And that conversation is happening right here.
đ Final Word
Thank you for refusing to look away. Thank you for being part of a community that asks questions, demands answers, and refuses to settle for the easy lie.
Because the one thing the board canât assess away is our right to speak, to challenge, and to hold them accountable.
