Holy HOA Dues!

A question from a reader, which I just now got to–my apologies:

Hello! I own a townhouse in High Point (and follow your blog) and was
shocked to see that my HOA dues effectively doubled. I am alone or is
this an issue in the community? I had thought for some reason that
they couldn’t go up by more than 5% or so per year. Do you guys know
anything about this?

Best,

–John S.

So does anyone know anything about this? Or has anyone else had a similar experience???

Plans for HPB

So after being dead for a while, I’d like to bring The High Point Blog back. But I need your help. The High Point Blog is looking for several volunteers who may be interested in posting relevant community news, alerts, opinions, and events. Please email HPB if you are interested, along with a description of what you might bring to the High Point Blog and why you’re interested in joining up.
