Need help with an HOA dilemma
I 36 f just moved into a condo with my husband, 44 m in march. The complex has an HOA. The bylaws were very laid back, with the only rules really being don't leave junk in your yard or on your porch, and don't be disrespectful, and normal things like no fire pits which is a state law and also keep your grill at a safe distance from the building, so we felt comfortable moving in there. One of our HOA board members was caught on camera damaging someone else's vehicle maliciously, someone she does not care for. My neighbor who is also on the board is wanting us to place our vote whether or not to recall that board member since we live in the complex. The Dilemma we're facing, we haven't lived there very long we don't really know any of the people and we don't really feel comfortable placing a vote at all. Our neighbor is pressuring us to vote one way or the other. I don't want to vote no and then ruffle the feathers of the people who are voting yes, but I don't want to vote Yes and potentially make an enemy of the board member in question when we have been very friendly with her so far. We have a 14-year-old son who likes to jog on the sidewalks in the complex and I don't want her to pester him in retaliation as well as she has been known to make a fuss about kids being outside. I really have no idea what to do. Any advice is appreciated.
