faceless men that control our lives ? – guess what, those faceless men are other owners like you – in your complex – that you haven’t bothered to get to know.
people like to complain – but don’t want to get involved – so what do we have ?
governments where our total commitment is 20 minutes every 4 years to vote – owners corporations’ executive committees ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’ where owners’ only commitment is a once a year AGM to vote for a new executive committee, and you don’t even have to (and most owners don’t bother to) attend !
so whenever I hear a bleating complaint from a new owner – I suggest they get involved and join the EC – ‘oh no – I don’t want’ or ‘I’m busy’ – OK – so are the EC members – most have full-time jobs – so you don’t want / you’re too busy to get involved, but you demand that these unpaid volunteers fix your problem immediately – great – see how that works ?
I like the t-shirt – ‘sure – let me drop everything and work on your problem …’
