All of the enticements suggested here have been tried in our block but failed.
Actually, our block (every block?) has shades of Dardanelle Towers.
Our resident “Old Guy” arrived at one AGM carrying a tray of whisky shots, which got the meeeting off to a good start.
In the middle of the discussion on the roof replacement, of which I have written previously, he says “Oh, wait a minute” and hobbles off upstairs to get something.
We idly chit-chatted while waiting patiently for whatever piece of important information he’d forgotten, and back he comes with a platter of freshly-cooked dim-sims.
We didn’t think that dim-sims would be a very durable roof covering, so we went with tiles.
Our block is a typical 1970’s block. You know, cream bricks and mission brown highlights.
One of the owners suggested we brighten up the foyer by painting it mauve or purple. I think he wanted to entice a few young pole-dancers up to his apartment.
The only “scary motion” which might work would be one that hits the hip-pocket nerve.
How about a motion to collect a special levy to commission a twice-life-size bronze statue of Saddam Hussein to be placed on the front lawn?
Maybe the Act should even make this a required motion like approving the Minutes and Financial Reports.
At least you would be able to tell just by driving by whether to buy into a block.
