What if that person cannot afford to pay? He gets off the hook and everyone
else foots the bill for his portion of the services?
BTW, in New Jersey it is very difficult to foreclose somebody. A judge is
always involved and the homeowner seems to always get lots of chances to pay
the bill. And if they cannot afford it, they have a long time to sell the
house, repay the HOA, and move somewhere he can afford. What's so wrong
with this?
