Yep, we have a very active HOA. Unfortunately, they're the ones making the decisions to cut the security.
Three of the gates are in view of the guard house and it used to be the guard would see the sticker on your car and open a gate (the 4th is a special one where passcards don't work - you have to have a clicker to get in - an Ex-pres has a house there so the security's a little tighter
).
Apparently they had a vote before we moved in and the residents voted to keep it the same and NOT to have it set up like it is now....
There are tens of thousands of dollars in uncollected dues because people bought lots years ago and never built. That's another thing I've brought up - if we're having money problems, then let's start foreclosing on these properties, selling them for $$$ (the least expensive lot would be $5-7K, with some going for $30K) and getting some paying residents.
But alas, I think finding a gate that won't stay open for as long might be the only thing they agree to. :angry:
