Endangered Condo-Hotel Species

Mark - in a condo situation when you have a reason, you explain it at the meeting. They did not explain why at the meeting. They were making interpretations of the governing documents trying to support their move.

So yes, they first decided to be bad to owners, and then sat with the attorney trying to find a way to be hostile. For some strange reason, people think that when they can find a justification, even if it is nothing more than a pretext, it is fine to be adversarial.

Dick - you are so right. And nobody should. Actually, I believe this is not the plan, but rather lack of capability to understand the ramifications of their actions. Sometimes the answer is the simplest one, and here I believe it is that they did not really even consider anything. And another issue here. There is a Association Management Company. Any reasonable manager would see it and warn them. Here it is the opposite, it is the management company trying to destroy the property. What is their benefit is a question for me. I think it is simply a personal vendetta agianst a few owners, and to defeat the mouse, they are blowing up their world.

Lenn - I thought the same, but it seems it is a war against "the enemies". The Manager and the Board united in not liking someone in Oceanside Inn, and are creating rules to hurt someone, and can't care less that they are hurting everyone there.

Guys excelled in manipulation. Not that this is their job description, but people do what they can, instead of what they should.

The problem in condo-hotels is that these are second homes (and trully not even second homes, even without these draconian measures). So people do not want to get involved.

Incapable Board may stay the same way for years, with nobody even willing to serve, so there are no elections. This is what we see and not only in Oceanside Inn. Fountain Beach Resort is basically without a change (very minor) is this way for years as well.

Ginny - they, probably, did not think about it.
