I have been displeased with my condo board in Minnesota for many reasons over many years. (Yes, I have taken my turn being on it.) I have been thinking about starting a local Condos/Townhomes Homeowners Anonymous support group (CTHAsg) to get input from those in other [condo associations](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) about what works and what doesn't work in their association. I have a brother-in-law whose association is spic and span and meticulous.  My chiropractor lives in an association that doesn't believe in maintenance, and she and quite a few of her neighbors have stopped paying dues altogether.  Another person I know is looking at a $10,000 [assessment](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/bid/1504/Condo-Associations-Stay-out-of-the-Assessment-Zone.aspx) because her board and its [property management](https://www.condoassociation.com/property-managers/tabid/96982/Default.aspx) company doesn't seem to understand financial planning. And so on. I am thinking of announcing the formation of this group in our local newspaper, and maybe we could meet twice a month. Has anyone else ever done this? If so, any comments and/or suggestions?
