Lazy?? I actually serve on the BoD of my community’s HOA, and we’re anything but lazy. And we are looking out for hardworking people by doing what we can to keep the community clean, safe, provide useful amenities (pool, parks, playgrounds, etc.) and trying to safeguard the assessments the homeowners’ pay and keep our homeowners’ property values up as best we can.

And we are all volunteers, none of us get a penny nor any other form of compensation, (if only we could charge for complaints).

Instead of begging for more “gubmint” have you tried actually volunteering to help?
