..best owners can't live in peace..

"Greed and power hunger are major contributors to permanent fights and litigation in HOAs. One extreme example is the "POINCIANA VILLAGE NINE ASSOCIATION, INC." in Kissimmee.

Despite the fact that sitting board members are trying their best to improve this community, a few owners want to grab the power and pursue their own private agendas -- to the detriment of the other owners. One owner files one lawsuit after the other, and once one of his lawsuits is defeated -- or moot -- he quickly files another one. Another owner with a private agenda is one of these "good" *..* who feels that a prayer -- or two -- make up for lying, cheating and trampling on the good names of their neighbors. Funny enough, he hasn't paid his dues to the master association for years! This community is a great example that even the best owners can't live in peace if a few "scumbags" live in their neighborhood!"
