We are not haters (Laura), just concerned Daybreak homeowners.

Overall Daybreak is a good place to live and we want to keep it that way, We also want to do what we can to maintain our homes value and appeal to potential buyers should we ever move.

To that end we think that the Daybreak HOA could be doing a better job of maintaining the homes in our area.
Every home in my area has peeling paint, warped siding/trim, and crumbling concrete. These are maintenance issues that are the contractual responsibility of our HOA to fix. And they have a direct bearing on our homes value and it's appeal to potential buyers.

Sellers of existing homes not only have plummeting values to deal with but they are also competing with shiny new homes. So again it is critical that our HOA lives up to it's obligations.

Simply stated, we have no choice but to pay the higher HOA fees, we cannot opt out and do the maintenance ourselves. So we all need to demand that we get some return for our investment (fees).
