Because the association can only primarily represent the best interests of those who exclusively created it. <br /> <br />To explain it another way, the association after turnover (build out) by the developer cannot truly also be it's members because the minds that created the association and declaration are different than the minds who eventually become it's members at property purchase. In other words the eventual Board members are more accurately, acting on behalf of the original declaration creators to fulfill their goals and best interests while masquerading as representing the members. Unless the members can draft, create and register an association after build out that includes their best interests as can be done in Georgia. Then and only then can an association also be it's members.Fred Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105838654504413940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060417.post-51823678370170593322010-10-15T07:35:49.592-05:002010-10-15T07:35:49.592-05:00"Sometimes it's hard to divorce the inter...<i>"Sometimes it's hard to divorce the interests of the owners from the interests of the association.

The board (Lisa) apparently only allowed 2 candidates to be on the ballot, and one of them doesn't live in the neighborhood (or apparently even own a residence in it) but comes from a town 25 miles away!?!<br /><br />Is that one for the books? <br /><br />They don't need guns. They need mental health treatment in that state. Wow.seashellnoreply@blogger.com
