My friends building in Makiki. They were missing money from their reserves and the manager who was in charge of it disapeared.  His office was also "robbed" of all important documents.  So they had a special assessment to do reapirs that were needed.

My client was paid to be the grounds keeper. The board went with someone who was more expensive cause he's the new presidents firend.  At least my client lived on the property, so she had pride in her work.

My friends condo banned dogs when the new president took over. He's not dog friendly.  Quit shortly after the ban was passed.

Some condo's also don't take in the required reserves because that means they have to raise maintanance fees.  Which everyone will complain about and they won't be re-elected.  The city/state doesn't enforce this either.  Which is why you see many older condos hit with huge maintance fee increases, on top of what's needed for the increased insurance cost.  These older buildings need major updates to the plumbing.

The board is a thankless and unpaid job.  Some join with alterior motives.  Say they want to push no pets allowed or pets allowed, pay their friends, etc...

What's interesting is that AOAO fees for condos in Vegas are much less than Hawaii. Last time I checked some years ago for the condo's in Cosmo, that has included valet parkign for all residence, their maintanance fee was half of what mine is for my condo that's built in 2019.  Then AOAO fees for homes are like $50/mo.  Any that hits $100 or more is overpriced in the residents eyes.

The problem many AOAO's have is that the residents don't bother until it's too late.  Same like gun owners and bills here.  Attending meetings even via zoom takes up time and energy after a long work day.  Many don't vote for their board either.  At least my board is full of younger people who do take their job seriouslly.  They are by the book and very transparent with everything.  Our maint fee went up only 4% th...]]> https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?action=post;topic=58816.0 Mon, 18 May 2026 19:34:02 GMT https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=58816.msg515056#msg515056 Re: What happened to the Vegas I used to know.....smh https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=52203.msg515055#msg515055
Then to leave it took about 4 hours to wait for the shuttle in line.  People were leaving at 4:30am and didn't get back to their hotel until 11am.

So IDK what actually changed this EDC, but the number of attendees remained the same as prior years.
