Raise the dues by about $5 and pay for GSuite? You aren't going to "advocate" much against real estate developers without paying tens of thousands of dollars to a lawyer anyway, so maybe you should revise your cost structure even more dramatically.
Source: our neighborhood's HOA spent $53K on legal fees to disallow the construction of a 4 story retirement home right across the road from us. This took 2 years and we lost: the other side can just wait you out. Yearly dues were raised from $300 to $450 to pay for this fail.
- andrew_ 7y ago> Raise the dues by about $5 and pay for GSuite? Not helpful and not in the spirit of Ask HN. Please read the other comments (there's only 23 to scan) on why we cannot raise the dues, it's been addressed. Your's is a very subjective take. We've actually been very successful historically, without having to engage attorneys and going through city channels. When making a statement like that, remember that your experiences are not a universal truth.
