(2) Yes, 5 people are on the board becasue they are the only ones that volunteered. The ther 295 residents had a chance, to elect them (they chose not to), they had a chance to propose changes to and vote on by-laws at the AGMs (they chose not to), they had a chance to come to board meetings and discuss issues with how the complex was being run (they chose not to). Just becaue people don't exercise their right to control, doesn't mean they don't have it.
(3) It is wrong because not having control, and not exercising it are two very different things. Yes, there was a small group that made decisions becasue were were the only ones interested in doing so, and we did so with what little direction we recieved from the rest of the residents. In the absence of that, we did what we thought best.
(4) Your comment is competely false. As I've said there is a big differnce between not having control, and not excersing it.
(5) Were your friends on the boards of these conods? If so then you MAY have some insight, but still quite a bit less than anyone who has actually done so. Since when is "I've heard stories" a good substitute for "I have direct experience"?
(6) Again, no one has ever said that living in a condo is as flexible as living in your own home. That's a statement you've tried to attribute to me, even though I've never made it. You on the other hand are trying to argue that living in a condo leaves you in a positon of having zero control, which is 100% false

Bogus, as expected. Board this, board that.
Can every resident be on the board?
If yes then great, 200 people that think they know better than you.
If no, then again we are back to this.
You voted for Joe because he likes cats. I voted for Ted because he likes dogs. Both are on the board.
Are you sure you can get that cat?
