This could be a fantastic opportunity for us to bond as neighbors and create lasting memories.<br><br>It&#8217;s disheartening to think that over $4 million was spent replacing a perfect concrete wall with a plastic one. This decision, made by an uneducated HOA president who later resigned, is a stark reminder of the need for responsible leadership.<br><br>It&#8217;s time for a shift in our approach. An educated community one that embraces community and systems thinking is what we need. It&#8217;s time to move away from the old, obsolete ways of the HOA and FirstService Residential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" src=\"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/100-512x341.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9187\" srcset=\"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/100-512x341.webp 512w, http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/100-255x170.webp 255w, http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/100-768x512.webp 768w, http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/100.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"269\" src=\"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/110-512x269.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9188\" srcset=\"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/110-512x269.webp 512w, http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/110-255x134.webp 255w, http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/110.webp 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people love Halloween, and some hate it, but we must celebrate as a community not as individual homeowners for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-america"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9186"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9189,"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9186\/revisions\/9189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/76.212.95.197\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
