[quote=Anonymous]Be very very careful telling new homeowners to “lie low for six months until they see how the place works”, you are infringing on their right to freely participate in the running of the place where they have purchased a home.

All you have to do is tell them when and where they can express their opinions.  Just because “we’ve never needed that before” doesn’t mean they can’t express what they’d like for what is now their community.  It’s still yours, of course, you can always vote against them, you just can’t tell them or anybody else to essentially stay quiet. I personally would love additional recycling pickups in our neighborhood, so far it hasn’t been done, I don’t think it ever has, but I’m not wrong for suggesting it. If you told me to wait, I’d sue you for something, I’m not sure what, but I’d find a lawyer to make sure you understood that you couldn’t silence me which is what you are doing to your neighbors, and which is what you are suggesting publicly as an HOA president. Be careful, op.

If this family is made up of a protected class, race, disability, whatever, you and the HOA may be sued, I’d sue the hell out of our HOA if they told me I couldn’t participate fully.. I have a disability. There’d be no way I’d stand for your arbitrary “wait six months” ban. Even if your behavior had nothing to do with my disability, I’d have no way to know that, nobody who is going to discriminate is going to ever say “I hate (fill in whatever group they don’t like), they’ll do it in a way that makes it sound viable “just be patient” “just give us time” “Just let us get things set up”. 
It really sounds like you’re done being the president. Don’t worry about the HOA, someone will take your position, and if they don’t, state law will kick in. The world will still turn and you will still be riding on it.

I’m also surprised that this is the first time you’ve ever seen HOA members treat you like this. It’s common, many people don’t know how an HOA works. I find it difficult to believe that these neighbors are the first people you’ve ever dealt with who treat you like an employee. Just refer them to the meetings and go about your day.
