All this squabbling is petty and the reason there have been so many problems. This exact sort of situation has been happening every year for at least the last 7 years. No one is ever going to decide who is right and who is wrong. This is a community and we all need to start acting as one. Our Association meetings used to be full. When people stopped seeing their dues accomplish anything in the neighborhood, people gave up on the Association altogether. We meet every year and talk about all the things we're going to accomplish, then talk about the same things next year because people wanted to argue what to do or how to do it. We ALL need to agree to disagree on some things, come to a compromise on others and work for the good of the community, if we want to get anything accomplished.
