I'm following Fred Pilot's observation (see post below) to its logical conclusion. Let's end all the squabbling about assessment collection and the abuse of foreclosure power by having the other utilities follow the lead of the US Postal Service. Give the HOA the final responsibility for delivery of water, electricity, and gas, just as they are now getting the tail end of mail delivery. They get the final job of turning on and off the utilities, just like the Postal Service is giving them the keys to the mailbox. Then instead of foreclosing on those who don't pay assessments on time, the HOA can turn off all their utilities as well as shutting down their mail. Send them into the Middle Ages until they cough up the bread. Don't pay on time? Fine. No problem. See how you like living in 1365.
