12. I have read my documents, researched my state's condo laws.

As I said, I am fully aware that I have to pay to fix my sidewalk and I fully intended to from the start. However, I am documenting with the management company, asking tons of questions so I get their answers in writing. I also have read what the legal process could entail and that it's more than likely they will always side with the association. More than anything, I want to make sure they know not all of us are willing to just take their demands without questioning anything. Also, I think they need to budget for curb replacement. A condo lawyer told me that a board's #priority is not to try to save money for the owners, but to make sure all the common elements are kept repaired and in good condition. They are not doing that with their ignoring the curb replacement.

Personally, I feel they are very lax in enforcing the by-laws but very eager to make us abide by them when it favors them. I guess as a Democrat I've always been on the side of fairness. I can well afford to replace the two slabs, but I am trying to make them inform the snow removal company to stay off my sidewalk with their heavy equipment. We've got some real mamby pamby types on the board, especially the president. Also, this is mostly a sub that consists of elderly people.
