Jeff,
I am a pragmatist, not an idealist. I can only go by the facts that are in front of me, and not your idealist vision of the future - one that fails to address the main problem facing KBV - defaulting owners.
As I said previously - I really dont care who has the mgt contract or control of the BOD. What I do care about is having a viable plan for addressing defaulting owners - one that does not exacerbate the problem by upgrading the resort thru a special assessment. Particularly if the end game is to make it more appealing to renters.
Because I do believe it is folly to see rentals as salvation you seem to believe it is. As other BoD members/candidates have pointed out, rental income will evaporate during hard times - creating a bigger problem for a shrinking pool of dues paying owners.
Which comes to the crux of the real problem - how does the HOA divest itself of the growing inventory of defaulting intervals? Particularly if we are eliminating a bulk sale as an option?
For me, and I am sure for other owners, this discussion is about the best path moving forward. And not marginalizing opinions you dont agree with by suggesting they are "in bed with them". Perhaps the dialog would be productive, if you spent half as many words to just address the points I surface rather than attacking the author.
And Jeff - 97 people out of 100 people can be wrong. At one point in time 97 people out of 100 believed that the sun rotated around the earth.
