🧾 Why Should We Pay?
The board has handed us an $850 special assessment, claiming “necessity.” But let’s be clear: this isn’t necessity – it’s mismanagement. They never consulted us when they made these decisions. They never sought input when they spent our common funds. Yet now, when they run short, suddenly the owners are expected to plug the gap.
📉 Double Standards
When there were surpluses, did the board return money to owners? No. Not a cent.
But when they overspend, when their priorities go off the rails, we’re expected to cover the shortfall immediately. Owners are treated as invisible when it’s time to decide, and indispensable when it’s time to pay.
🪜 The $178,000 Example
Remember the $178,000 stairs? Stairs that nobody uses. Stairs we didn’t need. Stairs we weren’t consulted about. We weren’t “good enough” to be asked about that decision – but apparently, we’re good enough to foot the bill after the fact.
🗳️ Vote With Your Wallets
It’s time we send a message: refuse to pay for this special assessment.
They can only keep treating us like a personal bank if we keep writing the cheques. Our silence funds their recklessness. Our compliance enables their waste.
📢 Final Word
This assessment isn’t about $850. It’s about respect, consultation, and accountability. If they want to treat owners like an afterthought, then it’s time to remind them that our wallets are not their safety net.
They chose to spend without us. Let them pay without us.
