Conflict of interest

It seems that it is a conflict of interest to have a HOA board completely consisting of homeowners. If you have multiple buildings that need repairs, some homeowners|board members do not want to raise the dues because they are on fixed incomes. Hence, you get a complex in disrepair and needing emergency fixes which cost more. Then the board member do not get reelected because they have been forced to raise the news from a previous board I would like to see at least 50% of a board be outside professionals that are paid to sit on an HOA board, who know about business.
