I am on the board of my 500+ unit townhome association, and it is truly a thankless job. For instance, one day last year a neighbor came up and railed at me because we spent money on a playground. Not ten minutes later his neighbor came up, and not knowing what just happened, railed at me even more bitterly because we didn't put in a bigger playground. Even still, as you pointed out, there are always a few people who get onto the board and become dictators. As far as they are concerned, if everyone’s property isn't exactly the same, the start yelling about the place being “a hodgepodge”. I think those people would be happier on an army base where everything is pretty much the same.

Yikes! I’m in a tiny development,, There are only 4 of us on the board.. People don’t even show up for the general meetings! But believe me,, We do have our share of aggravation so I feel for ya!
