My neighborhood has a community club... (no HOA thank goodness) just a volunteer organization who does things...
Well the old guard complained for years that the younger folks weren’t getting involved, finally younger folks came and took over, and long story short there was a contentious issue that divided the neighborhood because the way the old Community Club had been handling things (financially 501c3) had actually been violating some laws (unintentionally, but still, had been doing so)... the new board tried to do things the right way, which caused a huge schism...
Needless to say the new folks got fed up with the BS and all quit... now the club is back to the old guard who are slowly dying and the younger folks now, truly do want nothing to do with it.
The leader of the Malcontent faction complained that the HOA had been financially mismanaged for years. One of the Veterans pointed out that he just got on the board last year -- and SHE HERSELF had been the president of the HOA board for 8 years prior to that.
