So the HOA was indeed quite concerned with their property values and that a higher assessment impacts sale value. It's also important to note that this HOA covered multiple buildings, and none of the board lived in mine: So their unit was not at risk from the structure, but their assessment price was. The buildings were approaching an age where more significant/costly maintenance is necessary and I don't think they wanted to have to do those things.
