Sorry, but it sounds like you didn't handle things properly. You should have
proceeded with the suit. You ahould have ad an attorney. There are many
things that went wrong.

First of all, I will never, ever, purchase a property with a HOA.

However, I would love to do something to fix the problem. I believe that
HOA's are inherently problematic and anyone who believes their's is good,
efficient and fair is dumb, stupid, submissive, naive, or hasn't lived long
enough to see the misery that evil, petty, little people can spread.
