Socialism never works.... My bro in law and sister visited yesterday. They recently sold a condo and are looking at selling their current house to move up here and build new. He told me the HOA chair where they had teh condo stole just under a million from the HOA... so the HOA assessed every home $35,000 to make up the shortfall. If you don't pay this, they will put a lien on your house and force the sale (per Georgia law). Additionally the HOA didn't have the money to cover painting the houses or roofing because the costs went up since the HOA was formed and they never adjusted their budgeted numbers. But hey, the place has a nice pool and a nice boat dock on the river. The hoa fees are $550 a month in addition to that one time $35k asessment and the roof and painting. Damned if I understand why people live under such a system. Once upon a time in the 60's and 70's people lived in 1100 and 1200 sq ft houses.
