Above: Intermittently, for a time, boards informed owners of association finances
Newsletter 2008 excerpt is an example of earlier board willingness to communicate with owners.
The boards of 2019-2021 prefer not to do so.

Winter Recedes
I returned "home" for a few days between contracts and so I was able to snap the masthead photo.
Yes, spring is coming.
I've already received to ("two") complaints about driveways in alleged disrepair. The opinion of "disrepair" is that of the resident.
I personally think this HOA should turn over more of the maintenance to owners. That includes patios, decks and driveways. Let them get a taste of what it takes to maintain the property instead of sitting back and complaining.
I think it is a mistake for boards to be caretakers. Our "owners" are owners and should be treated accordingly. In my humble opinion, that means they should be required to make these decisions, deal with the other owners in their entrance and put out the money directly instead of expecting a board and management to make their lives wonderful.
After a decade of life at BLMH I have concluded that it is time for owners to operate accordingly, and they will NEVER do so unless forced to.

Can a HOA do that?
