Personal anecdote time: I've lived in a condo for the past seven years. During that time, we've never once been hit with a special assessment, and our board has done a consistently great job managing our building.
Oh, democracy. Right. Just like you and I are in full control of what every level of elected government does.

I get what you are saying, but I think that I have better things to do that involve myself like that. Why even bother? There are better options out there. IMO duplex is a much better option. If I want a yellow door, I only have to convince my wife. Not that that is an easy feat....
