There’s a storm brewing in Snug Harbor — and no, it’s not the weather. It’s the blatant hypocrisy and rule-breaking of the Snug Harbor Property Owners Association Board of Governors.
Let’s get straight to it: a camper has been allowed to remain in a community area for an extended period of time, despite the Association’s own bylaws/covenants clearly stating that campers are only allowed in the P-Section. That’s not an oversight. That’s not a misunderstanding. That’s a willful, deliberate violation of the rules by the very people entrusted to uphold them.
Let’s repeat that for clarity:
Campers are only allowed in the P-Section.
Period. End of discussion.
So how — and why — has a camper been parked in a community space (the Clubhouse), blatantly outside the P-Section, for far longer than any reasonable “temporary exception” would allow? The answer is as disappointing as it is enraging: favoritism.
The board has chosen to bend the rules for certain individuals while holding the rest of the community to strict compliance. If you or I tried to park a camper outside the P-Section, we’d be slapped with citations, fees, or worse — but somehow, this particular camper’s owners have been granted special treatment.
Why? Who are they connected to?
Is this a friend-of-a-friend situation?
A backroom deal?
Or just good ol’ fashioned cronyism?
We, the residents and property owners of Snug Harbor, deserve answers — not silence, not spin, and certainly not excuses. The Board of Governors was not elected to serve as gatekeepers of privilege. They were elected to represent the best interests of everyone in this community — not just their favorites.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t just about a camper. It’s about trust, accountability, and equal enforcement of the rules. When the board breaks its own bylaws/covenants, it undermines its legitimacy. When it protects a select few while ignoring the rules the rest of us are expected to follow, it breeds resentment and erodes community cohesion.
This is not just poor leadership — this is a breach of duty.
If the bylaws don’t matter to the board, why should they matter to the rest of us? If rules can be bent for one, what’s stopping others from demanding the same? The answer, of course, is selective enforcement — and that’s a slippery slope to chaos and corruption
