I'm in a townhouse complex with 52 units. We have an annual meeting to decide how the association money will be spent, and we have a hard time getting more than 12 homeowners represented at the meeting! Only six to eight people, other than the 4 board of directors members, will physically come to a meeting, and a handful of proxy votes added to that. It's pretty pitiful that people don't even care how their own money is spent, at as local a level as you can get! It's no wonder voter turnout is so low for elections; people are just content to let whoever is in power do whatever they want with their tax money!
