HOAs/condo boards have to pay dues too. They're not going to
do something like that without a damn good reason - ie: engineers
telling them that the whole road is sinking.

The board members I know are penny-wise and pound-foolish. I know
people who rely on any sales person as an expert, rather than
researching issues. I have seen amazing waste with people who quibble
over a bag of fertilizer.
